Use the galvanic cell reaction to answer the question.
Zn(s) + Br2(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + 2Br-(aq)
Which option shows the oxidation half reaction in this cell?
The oxidation half reaction in this cell is:
Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
a
Br2(aq) + 2e- → 2Br-(aq)
b
Br2(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
c
Zn(s) + 2e- → 2Br-(aq)
d
Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
The correct option showing the oxidation half reaction in this cell is:
d
Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
