About This Product
In a voltaic cell, zinc gives up electrons more readily than copper, so the oxidation and reduction reactions at the two electrodes generate electricity. This set holds one copper and one zinc electrode in place with metal clamps in a plastic cup for the electrolyte solution, comes with instructions and is aimed at students in classes 9 to 12. School Educational Instrument can supply the Voltaic Cell to schools and colleges in Ghana, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Mexico and Mongolia.
Frequently Asked Questions
