Problem

In a galvanic cell composed of a Zn(s)∣Zn2+(aq)Zn(s)|Zn^{2+}(aq) half-cell and a Cu(s)∣Cu2+(aq)Cu(s)|Cu^{2+}(aq) half-cell, a salt bridge containing 1.0 M1.0\,\text{M} KNO3KNO_{3} connects the two compartments. Electrons flow spontaneously from zinc to copper. Which ion migrates through the salt bridge toward the copper electrode? a) Cu2+Cu^{2+} b) K+K^{+} c) NO3−NO_{3}^{-} d) Zn2+Zn^{2+}
