Open Ended

A student is given a standard galvanic cell represented in the image. The cell has a Cu electrode and an Sn electrode. As current flows through the cell, the student determines that the Cu electrode increases in mass and the Sn electrode is decreasing in mass.

As the mass of Sn decreases, where does it go?

Draw

Draw where the K⁺ and the NO₃^- ions are going (color code) Cu is on the left and Zn is on the right.
