alleryWhich combination correctly matches the two processes described in the notes for a galvanic cell?
AAnode: reduction; Cathode: oxidation
BAnode: oxidation; Cathode: reduction
CBoth electrodes: oxidation only
DBoth electrodes: reduction only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Anode: oxidation; Cathode: reduction
The notes identify zinc oxidation at the anode and copper ion reduction as the reduction process.
**Thus, in a galvanic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode.**
