Select all of the following that are true about your Zn-Ag cell. a. Ag is gaining electrons. Zn is getting oxidized.
b. Electrons travel toward the Ag half-cell.
c. Ag is getting reduced.
d. Electrons travel away from the Zn half-cell.
e. Zn is losing electrons. Zn2 is gaining electrons.
f. Ag is getting oxidized. Electrons travel toward the Zn half-cell.
g. Electrons travel away from the Ag half-cell. Zn2 is getting reduced.
h. Ag is losing electrons. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

The correct statements are :

a. Ag is gaining electrons. Zn is getting oxidized.

b.  Electrons travel toward the Ag half-cell.

c.  Ag is getting reduced.

d. Electrons travel away from the Zn half-cell.

Explanation:

Galvanic cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.

The standard reduction potential for zinc (Zn) and silver (Ag) are as follows:

Reduction takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is higher (positive) and oxidation takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is less (more negative).

Here Zn undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Silver undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode. Thus the electrons will travel from Zn half cell to Ag half cell.

Anode :

Cathode:

The correct statements are :

a. Ag is gaining electrons. Zn is getting oxidized.

b.  Electrons travel toward the Ag half-cell.

c.  Ag is getting reduced.

d. Electrons travel away from the Zn half-cell.

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
