Be sure to follow all steps. First, specifically describe the role of copper and then Zinc in the redox process in full. Be sure to include half reactions for each metal and a description of macroscopic observations you may expect when testing the experimental design. Example of macroscopic observations and half reactions are attached.

Right metal warns away:
MICROSCOPIC
OBSERVATIONS
Left side electrons flow downward, attracting
additional Ag atoms to join the surface, while right
side electrons travel upward, ionizing and
dispersing the metal atoms into the solution.
Zinc releases two electrons and passes into the solution as 2n+2

Expert Solution

Step 1

Redox reactions are reactions which involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another species. The species that loses electrons is said to be oxidized while the species that gains electrons is said to be reduced.
