A voltaic cell was constructed using a zinc electrode (submerged in zinc sulfate), a copper electrode (submerged in copper(II) sulfate), and a salt bridgecontaining sodium sulfate. Given that zinc more easily forms cations than copper, which of the following statements is false concerning this voltaic cell?Electrons flow from the zinc anode to the copper cathode.O The sodium ion, from the salt bridge, will maintain charge balance as Cu"is deposited as copper metal onto the copper electrode.O The mass of the cathode increases over time.2+The sulfate ion, from the salt bridge, will maintain charge balance as Cu-T is released into the copper(II) sulfate solution.

Statement (d) is false as Cu will not released to copper sulfate solution.
