Elecrochemistry Lab: galvanic cell or not?

Posted on 2016-03-11 18:25:00 in Chemistry by JEMMY

I have recently completed an electrochemistry lab in which I placed a Zinc anode in 1M Cu(NO3)2 solution and a Copper cathode in 1M Zn(NO3)2 solution. Would this still be considered a galvanic cell (I experimentally received a positive voltage with some solid forming on the Zn), or was my chemistry teacher messing with me? 

Any help appreciated. Thank you for your time.
