Identify the anode in the following reaction.
Zn (s) + SnSO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (sq) + Sn (s)
Options:
Zn(s)
SnSO4
ZnSO4
Sn(s)
this is not a redox reaction
1 answer
The anode in a electrochemical reaction is the electrode where oxidation occurs. In the given reaction, zinc (Zn) is oxidized to Zn2+ ions. Therefore, the anode in this reaction is Zn(s).
