Answer:
= +ve, reaction is spontaneous
= -ve, reaction is non spontaneous
= 0, reaction is in equilibrium
Case 1: when copper metal is combined with aqueous zinc sulfate.
Here copper is undergoing oxidation ad thus acts as anode and zinc is undergoing reduction , thus acts as cathode.
= standard electrode potential =
Where both are standard reduction potentials.
Thus as is negative , the reaction is non spontaneous.
Case 2: when zinc metal and aqueous copper sulfate solution are combined.
Here zinc is undergoing oxidation ad thus acts as anode and copper is undergoing reduction , thus acts as cathode.
= standard electrode potential =
Where both are standard reduction potentials.
Thus as is positive , the reaction is spontaneous.
