In a galvanic cell, the less reactive metal is the cathode, where oxidation takes place. In this case the cathode is zinc.

What is the cathode of a galvanic cell made with magnesium and gold?
the gold electrode
What is the voltage of a galvanic cell made with magnesium and gold?
4.2 V
Would a galvanic cell work without a salt bridge?
The electrolyte of a commercial galvanic cell normally extends from anode to cathode without interruption by a salt bridge. A salt bridge is normally a teaching tool to help show that: 1. Galvanic half-cells do not produce voltage 2. Conductors and insulators are not necessarily salt bridges. An electrolyte must extend from anode to cathode before the galvanic cell can produce voltage. 3. The chemical composition of the salt bridge can differ from the electrolytes in the half cells. 4. Ions travel through the salt bridge between the cell's anode and cathode. Salt bridges raise more questions than answers. For example: 1. Can the difference between an electrolyte and a conductor be defined? 2. How do ions quickly move through a solid or a long electrolyte? 3. When salt bridge composition differs from the galvanic cell electrolyte(s), must the salt bridge chemically react with the galvanic cell electrolyte(s)? 4. Why does galvanic cell voltage remain nearly constant while anode to cathode distance doubles.
Who invented the voltaic cell?
A Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively.In 1780, Luigi Galvani discovered the Galvanic cell.The volatic pile invented by Alessandro Volta in the 1800s is similar to the galvanic cell.

Electrons in a galvanic cell normally flow?
A galvanic cell is a spontaneous reaction so electron flow will occur as long as a salt bridge is present.
