A student constructs a galvanic cell that has a strip oflead metal immersed in a solution of 0.1MPb(NO3)2as one half-cell and a strip of zincmetal immersed in a solution of 0.1 MZn(NO3)2as the other half-cell. The measuredcell potential is less than zero when the positive terminal of thevoltmeter is attached to the zinc strip and the negative terminalis attached to the lead strip.
Which half-cell is the anode (Pb or Zn)?
Which half-cell is the cathode?
Do the electrons flow from Zn to Pb or vice versa?
Which metal is more “active” Zn or Pb?
