Write the net redox reaction that occurs in the galvanic cell.
Zn(s) ∣ Zn⁺²(aq) Pb⁺²(aq) ∣ Pb(s)

Question

Write the net redox reaction that occurs in the galvanic cell. Zn(s)∣ Zn⁺²(aq) Pb⁺²(aq)∣ Pb(s)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net redox reaction that occurs in the galvanic cell is Pb⁺²(aq)+ Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq)+ Pb(s), which is equivalent to the choice D. This reaction shows the oxidation of zinc at the anode (Zn → Zn⁺²(aq)+ 2e-) and the reduction of lead ions at the cathode (Pb⁺²(aq)+ 2e- → Pb(s)). The other choices either have incorrect products/reactants or involve the transfer of electrons in the opposite direction.
