A Zinc half-cell is connected to an iron half-cell through a salt bridge and both are also connected through a cof per wire. At which electrode is reduction taking place anl which electrode is positively charged?
Explanation
This is an electrochemical cell, and in this cell the anode must be more reactive than the cathode. Thus, \(Zn\) is the anode and Fe is the cathode.lso, the anode is the negative electrode, while the cathode is the positive, unlike that in electrolytic cell. Lastly, oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode. Thus reduction occurs at the positively charged iron ( \(Fe\) ) electrode
