oops.. this is the full reaction, it's the zinc-copper cell redox reaction. Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) -> Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq)

how can we determine if a reaction is reversible or not? Zn2+ (aq) + 2e- -> Zn(s) is this a reversible reaction? thanks! :biggrin:

Thanks! I am using copper and zinc in copper (II) sulphate and zinc sulphate solutions. The voltage i obtained is about 0.3 volt away from the standard 1.1 volt after i added more layers of filter papers. I tried to decrease the zinc ions in the solution by diluting the solution and the...

I have set up a Galvanic cell and used filter paper that is soaked in KCl as salt bridge. The electrolyte I used is 1M and the experiment is carried out in room temperature. However, I am unable to obtain the standard cell potential. The voltage values I obtained was lower. I was thinking...
