A student measures the voltage of a cell made from a zinc electrode and a copper electrode. The student then replaces the copper electrode with a silver electrode. Silver is less reactive than copper. What happens to the voltage of the cell, and why?
It decreases, because the difference in reactivity of the electrodes decreases
It decreases, because the difference in reactivity of the electrodes increases
It increases, because the difference in reactivity of the electrodes decreases
It increases, because the difference in reactivity of the electrodes increases
