Give the oxidation and reduction half cell reaction taking place in the Daniel cell.

Answer»

Solution :Zinc is oxidised to `Zn^(2+)` ions and the `Cu^(2+)` ions are reduced to metallic COPER. The half reactions are represented as below.
`""Zn_((s)) RARR Zn_((AQ))^(2+)+2e^-)" (OXIDATION)"`
Loss of election oxidation
`Cu_((aq))^(2+)+2e^(-) rarr Cu_((s))" (reduction)"`
Gain of electron oxidation.
