<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
Metals that undergo oxidation and reduction
Required
A galvanic cell
Solution
The condition for voltaic cells is that they can react spontaneously, indicated by a positive cell potential.
or:
E ° cell = E ° reduction-E ° oxidation
For the reaction to occur spontaneously (so that it E cell is positive), the E° anode must be less than the E°cathode
If we look at the voltaic series:
<em>Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Ag-Pt-Au </em>
The standard potential value(E°) from left to right in the voltaic series will be greater, so that the metal undergoing an oxidation reaction (acting as an anode) must be located to the left of the reduced metal (as a cathode)
<em />
From the available answer choices, oxidized Al (anode) and reduced Zn (cathode) are voltaic/galvanic cells.

Explanation:
Fischer esterification is a type of reaction used to convert carboxylic acids to ester in the presence of excess alcohol and a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. Another final product formed in the reaction is water.
The mechanism for the fischer esterification of Benzoic acid and C H 3 O H in the presence of HCl as the catalyst is shown in the image attached to this answer.
The final products of the reaction are methyl benzoate, water and H^+ as shown in the image attached.
