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.

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.
