The electrode redox reactions of the Daniell cell:$$\ce{Zn(s) <=> Zn^2++ 2 e- }$$$$\ce{Cu(s) <=> Cu^2++ 2 e- }$$maintain at the respective electrode a particular potential where both...

BTW, electrons don't actually actually "flow" very fast. The drift velocity of electrons is incredibly slow, on the order of a millimeter every 5 or ten seconds in a room-temperature conductor. The...

Using the Daniell Cell as an example, where in the steady state we expect zinc to be oxidised and copper to be reduced spontaneously due to the overall reduction in Gibbs free energy, how does the...
