Assertion : For the Daniel cell,$Zn|Zn^{2+} || Cu^{2+}|Cu$ with $E_{cell} = 1.1 \ V$,the application of an opposite potential greater than $1.1 \ V$ results in the flow of electrons from cathode to anode.
Reason : $Zn$ is deposited at the anode,and $Cu$ is deposited at the cathode.

The position of some metals in the electrochemical series in decreasing electropositive character is given as $Mg > Al > Zn > Cu > Ag$. What will happen if a copper spoon is used to stir a solution of aluminium nitrate?
