Answer: from the Zn anode to the Cu cathode


Justification:


1) The reaction given is: Zn(s) + Cu₂⁺ (aq) -> Zn²⁺ (aq) +Cu(s)


2) From that, you can see the Zn(s) is losing electrons, since it is being oxidized (from 0 to 2⁺), while Cu²⁺, is gaining electrons, since it is being reduced (from 2⁺ to 0).


3) Then, you can already tell that electrons go from Zn to Cu.


4) The plate where oxidation occurs is called anode, and the plate where reduction occus is called cathode.


So you get that the electrons flow from the anode (Zn) to the cathode (Cu).


Always oxidation occurs at the anode, and reduction occurs at the cathode.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Missing question: Z:X = 7:1 A:Z = 2.5:1 A:Z = 2.2:1 Y:X = 11:1.

Answer is:<span> Z:X = 7:1 and Y:X = 11:1.
Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers. 
In this example ratios are whole numbers, A:Z = 2.5 : 1 and A:Z = 2.2 : 1 are not whole number ratios.</span>
