Questions Relating to Voltaic Cell and Potential Energy:
*Electrons flow from anode to cathode because of difference in ____
*Electrons flow spontaneously through circuit due to –––––
*For a Zn Anode and Cu cathode setup, electrons flow from Zn to Cu due to ––––
*If a cell is operated under standard conditions then the cell voltage (potential) is indicated by –––––
* Electrons flow from anode to cathode because of difference in potential.
The potential difference between the electrodes (voltage) causes electrons to flow from the reductant to the oxidant through the external circuit, generating an electric current.
* Electrons flow spontaneously through circuit due to the difference in potential.
* For a Zn Anode and Cu cathode setup, electrons flow from Zn to Cu due to the potential difference.
* If a cell is operated under standard conditions then the cell voltage (potential) is indicated by standard electrode potential.
