Primarygun Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 With copper and zinc electrode, copper(II) sulphate as electrolyte, what will be the product? My exercise book said that there will be a gas from the positive electrode (copper electrode). I checked the standard reduction potential and found that the oxidizing power of sulphate ion is smaller than that of copper (II) ion. so is my book wrong? And which anion has a smaller oxidizing power than copper (II) ion as well?
