Answer:
In the given voltaic cell, the reaction occurring at cathode :
[tex]Cu(OH)_2(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)+2OH^-(aq)[/tex]
Explanation:
A voltaic cell is an electro-chemical cell which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It has two electrodes :
- Anode : Where oxidation occurs , that is loosing of electrons.
[tex]M\rightarrow M^{n+}+ne^-[/tex]
- Cathode : Where reduction occurs, that is gaining of electrons.
[tex]M^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow M[/tex]
In the given voltaic cell, the reaction occurring at anode:
[tex]Zn(s)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2(aq)+2 e^-[/tex]
In the given voltaic cell, the reaction occurring at cathode :
[tex]Cu(OH)_2(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)+2OH^-(aq)[/tex]
