Experiments
1. Making of a galvanic pair
1.1. Place a zinc granule on the bottom of the centrifuge tube and pour solution of
hydrochloric acid on top. Write down the equation of reaction which occurs. Which
compound is the oxidant, which is the reductant?
Zn+2 HCl ZnCl 2 + H 2
-¿ H 2
Oxidant is H: +¿+2 e ¿

Next, insert the copper wire into the same solution in the centrifuge tube, ensuring that it will
not touch the zinc granule
