$A$ galvanic cell consists of a copper electrode and a standard hydrogen electrode. If $E^0_{(Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s))} = +0.34 \text{ V}$, identify the reaction taking place at the positive electrode during the working of the cell.

  • A
    $Cu(s) \rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^-$
  • B
    $Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu(s)$
  • C
    $H_2(g) \rightarrow 2H^+(aq) + 2e^-$
  • D
    $H^+(aq) + e^- \rightarrow \frac{1}{2} H_2(g)$
