Use the following diagram of a cell to answer questions 59-64: -In the cell shown above, A is a standard Zn²⁺/Zn electrode connected to a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE).If the voltmeter reading is-0.76 V, What is the equation for the cell reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electrode that undergoes oxidation (loses electrons) is the Zn electrode, represented by the half-reaction Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e-. The electrode that undergoes reduction (gains electrons) is the SHE, represented by the half-reaction 2H+(aq) + 2e- → H2(g). The overall reaction can be written as Zn(s) + 2H+(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + H2(g), which matches choice B.
