In a galvanic cell of Zinc Sulphate, the beaker with ZnSO4 acquires a _.
Correct answer: B. Net positive charge
- A. Negative charge
- B. Net positive charge
- C. Neutral charge
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
The left half cell consists of a zinc electrode and a solution of zinc sulfate, the right half cell of a copper electrode and a solution of copper sulfate. Oxidation at the zinc electrodes results in the loss of electron from the solution in the left beaker and hence the beaker acquires a net positive charge.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
