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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net redox reaction in the galvanic cell is the oxidation of zinc and reduction of lead ions. This can be represented as:
Zn(s) → Zn+2(aq) + 2 e- (oxidation half-reaction)
Pb+2(aq) + 2 e- → Pb(s) (reduction half-reaction)
When these two half-reactions are combined, the electrons cancel out, leaving:
Zn(s) + Pb+2(aq) → Zn+2(aq) + Pb(s)
Therefore, the best choice is D.
