A voltaic cell prepared using zinc and iodine has the following line notation. Zn(s) | Zn2*(aq) || |(aq) | 12(s) | C (graphite) Which of the following equations correctly represents the balanced, spontaneous, cell reaction? 21 (aq) + Zn(s) –→ I2(s) + Zn²+(aq) 21(aq) + Zn2*(aq) → I2(s) + Zn(s) 12(s) + Zn(s) → 21 (aq) + Zn2*(aq) O 12(s) + Zn2*(aq) → 21(aq) + Zn(s) None of these, since graphite must be in the equation.

Question
A voltaic cell prepared using zinc and iodine has the
following line notation.
Zn(s) | Zn2*(aq) || |'(aq) | 12(s) | C
(graphite)
Which of the following equations correctly
represents the balanced, spontaneous, cell reaction?
21 (aq) + Zn(s) → I2(s) + Zn²+(aq)
21(aq) + Zn2*(aq) → I2(s) + Zn(s)
O 12(s) + Zn(s) → 21'(aq) + Zn2*(aq)
12(s) + Zn2*(aq) –→ 21(aq) + Zn(s)
None of these, since graphite must be in the
equation.
