Interpretation:
The anode and cathode of the given apparatus is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Where electrons are released or oxidation is occurs is called anode and where electrons are accepted or reduction is occur is called cathode.
Answer to Problem 8STP
Zinc electrode is the anode and copper electrode is cathode.
Explanation of Solution
Where electrons are released or oxidation is occurs is called anode. So, zinc electrode is anode where oxidation occurs. Copper electrode is cathode because at this electrode reduction occurs.
Zinc electrode is the anode and copper electrode is cathode.
