Consider a voltaic cell that corresponds to the following reaction: Zn(s) + Cu 2+ (aq) $\rightarrow$Zn 2+ (aq) + Cu(s) Which of the following statements is correct?

Zinc loses two electrons to form Zn²⁺, and these electrons are gained by Cu²⁺ to form Cu, meaning two electrons are transferred per zinc atom.

Multiple Choice

Consider a voltaic cell that corresponds to the following reaction: Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) $\rightarrow$ Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s) Which of the following statements is correct?

A) Zinc is the oxidizing agent.
B) The Cu²⁺ solution must be in the half-cell with the zinc electrode.
C) No salt bridge is necessary, since the charge is 2+ on both sides of the equation.
D) The zinc electrode is the cathode.
E) Two electrons will be transferred in this reaction per atom of zinc that reacts.
