Question

Where does oxidation occur in the electrochemical cell?

in the voltmeter
in the salt bridge
on the zinc electrode
on the copper electrode

Answer 1

-on the zinc electrode

Answer 2

The oxidation occur on the zinc electrode.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electrochemical cell is a device in which chemical energy produced during reaction is converted into electrical energy. in these type of cells oxidation occurs at anode and reduction occurs at cathode.

At cathode :(reduction)

`Cu^(2+)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu`

At anode: (oxidation)

`Zn^(2+)\rightarrow Zn^(2+)+2e^-`
