Questions

Zinc has a standard reduction potential of -0.76 V. Tin has a standard reduction potential of -0.14 V.

A student sets up a voltaic cell using a 1 M zinc sulfate solution with a zinc electrode and a 1 M
tin(II) nitrate solution with a tin electrode, connecting the two cells with a salt bridge. The student
connects the red lead to the zinc electrode and the black lead to the tin electrode. The voltmeter
reads a voltage of -0.62 V.

Based on the student’s experimental setup and voltage measurement, which of these statements is
true? Select the single best answer.

The leads are not connected correctly.
