A galvanic cell is set-up in the laboratory with a copper anode and an unidentified cathode. Your teacher asks you to identify the cathode of the solution with the given information. The anode metal is lustrous and grey in color, so you narrow it down to silver and zinc. The voltmeter reading shows that the cell potential is 0.50 V. The copper (II) sulfate solution was indicated to have a concentration of 0.10 M.
