What is the anode in an alkaline battery??

------

Describe the electrodes in this nickel-copper galvanic cell.

a. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.

anode cathode gains mass loses mass

Nickel Copper

b. The standard reduction potential for a substance indicateshow readily that substance gains electrons relative to othersubstances at standard conditions. The more positive the reductionpotential, the more easily the substance gains electrons. Considerthe following:

Ni2+(aq)+2e??Ni(s),Cu2+(aq)+2e??Cu(s), E?red=?0.230 V E?red=+0.337 V

What is the standard potential, E?cell , for thisgalvanic cell? Use the given standard reduction potentials in yourcalculation as appropriate!
