All right, so we have the standard cell potentials for the reduction of copper and zinc.
00:04
If we were to make a galvanic cell, or also known as a voltaic cell, we would want a spontaneous reaction, something that happens on its own without intervention, and an overall positive e0 value for the cell.
00:21
And in order to achieve that, the one that is more likely to be reduced, the higher reduction potential, that's going to be reduction.
00:28
The one that has the lower reduction potential will be oxidized.
00:31
So positive 0 .34 is higher than negative 0 .76.
00:36
So we would expect this to be the reduction at the cathode of the galvanic cell.
00:43
And then the reverse of this reaction would be the oxidation at the anode.
00:49
So we want specifically what's going to be the reducing agent...
