Write down the half reactions and cell reaction for Daniel cell.

Zn (S)| Zn+2 (aq) (IM) || Cu+2 (aq) (IM) |Cu(S)

3 Answers

Zn (S)â†’Zn +2
Cu+2 â†’Cu

but not sure

ya of course sanchit
Zn â†’ Zn²⁺ + 2e
Cu²⁺ + 2e â†’ Cu
---------------------------------
Zn + Cu²⁺ â†’ Zn²⁺ + Cu

Here Zn electrode acts as anode while Cu electrode acts as cathode!~ Thus, oxidation occurs at fZn electrode and reduction at the Cu electrode!~

Overall cell rxn wud be

Zn(s) + Cu^2+ ------->Zn^2+ (aq) + Cu(s)
