Question 1

Analyse the voltaic cell data to determine which metal is being oxidised at the anode. Cell notation: \( \text{Zn(s)} \mid \text{Zn}^{2+}\text{(aq)} \parallel \text{Ag}^{+}\text{(aq)} \mid \text{Ag(s)} \) Standard reduction potentials: \( \text{Zn}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Zn(s)} \quad E^{\circ} = -0.76 \, \text{V} \) \( \text{Ag}^{+}\text{(aq)} + e^{-} \rightarrow \text{Ag(s)} \quad E^{\circ} = +0.80 \, \text{V} \)
