Extract From Wikipedia explaining zinc voltaic cell :
metallic zinc at the surface of the zinc electrode is dissolving into the solution
Can you explain what makes zinc atoms dissolve into the solution? Why are solid zinc atoms losing electrons?The solution is just a mix of Zn2+ and SO42-. Do Zn atoms react with Zn2+ or S042- ? Or it is because copper electrode is pulling the electrons
Thank you
