The half reaction that correctly describes the oxidation that is taking place in electrochemical cell containing Zn-Cu couple .
Explanation::
Electrochemical cell
It is the cell that converts the chemical energy in to electric energy .The reaction staking place in it are spontaneous that is occur by itself .
In it the oxidation and reduction both occur .
The one with high electrode potential looses electrons that is it shows : oxidation
Th one with lower electrode potential gains electrons that is it shows :Reduction .
In this galvanic cell (Zn-Cu couple )
The oxidation occurs at anode that is :
Zn-2e---->Zn²⁺
The reduction occurs at cathode :
Cu²⁺ + 2e--->Cu
