In a galvanic cell,

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`underset("Anode (on which oxidation occurs)")("Metal")|"Metal ion (conc.)"||"Metal ion (conc.)"|underset("Cathode (on which reduction occurs)")("Metal")`
Oxidation takes place at the anode while reduction takes place at the cathode. For example for the cell reaction
`Zn(s)+Cu^(2+)(aq) to Zn^(2+)(aq)+Cu(s)`.
`Zn|Zn^(2+)(ar)(C_(1))||Cu^(2+)(ar)(C_(2))|Cu`.
