ACKNOWLEGEMENT
I wish to express my deep gratitude and sincere thanks to
the principal Mrs. BINITA SINGH for her encouragement
and for all the facilities that she provided for this project
work.
I extend my hearty thanks to Ms. AKSHITA, who guided
me to the successful completion of this project. I take this
opportunity to express my deep sense of gratitude for this
invaluable guidance constant encouragement, immense
motivation, which has sustained my efforts at all stages of
this Project work.
I can’t forget to offer my sincere thanks to my parents and
also to my classmates who helped me to carry out this
project successful and for their valuable advice and
support, which I received from then time to time.

Electrochemical Cell
. Some Important
Features .
The electrode at which oxidation takes place is called the
anode. The electrode at which the reduction takes place
is called the cathode.
Since electrons are produced at the zinc electrodes,
this electrode is rich in electrons, which pushes the
electrons into the external circuit and hence it is
designated as the negative pole. The other electrode,
i.e. the copper electrode is in the need of electrons
for the reduction of Cu2+ ions into the Cu.
The electrons flow from the negative pole to the
positive pole in the external circuit. However,
conventionally, this current is set to flow in the
opposite direction.
The oxidation of Zn into ions produces excess of
Zn2+ ions in the left beaker. This creates an
unbalanced positive charge in the solution. To
maintain electrical neutrality of the solution in the two
beakers, the cations and anions move through the
salt bridge.
As copper from copper sulphate solution is deposited
on the copper electrode and sulphate ions migrate to
the other side, the concentration of the copper
sulphate solution decreases. As the cell operates
consequently, the current falls.
Evidently, the weight of the copper rod will increase
while that of zinc rod will decrease as the cell works.
