Question

Try using Zn (solid) with Cu(NO3)2 in one cell and Cu(s) with Zn(NO3)2 solution in another cell. Note down the voltage value. Explain what you are seeing for voltage value and use redox reaction to justify the process.

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

When a strip of zinc metal is placed into a blue solution of copper(II) nitrate, a reaction immediately begins as the zinc strip begins to darken. If left in the solution for a longer period of time, the zinc will gradually decay due to oxidation to zinc ions.
