Re: The Voltaic Cell Zinc and Sulphuric Acid reaction in the

The Zn2+ ions are solvated by water molecules, that is water
Zn2+ surrounded by water of hydration. Each Zn2+ hydrated by
6H2O. That's how it dissolves. The 2es move through the wire to
the cathode compartment, enabling the spontaneous Zn-->Zn2+ to
continue.

Hi there,
I've been reviewing the responses but i seem to have more
questions than answers. Can you recommend some books or internet
sites which might step me through the process or even give me
some keywords or topics to research so that I can get a better
understanding on how and why these reactions take place, what
certain atoms are more attracted than others, etc.

Any good general chemistry text will be sufficient. I'd
recommend General Chemistry by Linus Pauling, or General
Chemistry by Darrel D. Ebbing and Steven D. Gammon. You can
purchase any of these texts. Since the wikibook of the Linus
Pauling is freely available, you can have a look here:
HTML http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/General_Chemistry
btw Pauling worked on electronegativities and his Pauling scale
of electronegatives is available in most GC texts.
You could also use some links like
HTML http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/bonding/electroneg.html
to
review the electronegativity concept. Have you already tried
wiki?
