                 The electrolyte can be an acid, alkali
                 or a solution of a salt.

                 Zn(s)                 Zn2+(aq) + 2e-

           The zinc electrode becomes negative because
           of the number of electrons present. These
           electrons flow to the copper electrode.

At the other electrode the electrons are released and combine
with hydrogen in the electrolyte.
