Which ionic equation represents a spontaneous reaction that can occur in a voltaic cell? 1. Cu(s) + Zn(s) → Cu2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq) 2. Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) 3. Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) → Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) 4. Cu2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq) → Cu(s) + Zn(s)

Answer:

3. Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + Zn₍s₎ → Cu₍s₎ + Zn²⁺

Explanation:

In a voltaic cell where copper (II) suphate is the electrolyte and zinc and copper electrodes copper is deposited while zinc goes into solution.  

Zn₍s₎ → Zn ²⁺ ₍aq₎ +2e⁻

The two electrons are taken by copper ions to form copper atoms.

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
