Question

In a Daniel cell,

• A. The chemical energy liberated during the redox reaction is converted to electrical energy
• B. The electrical energy of the cell is converted to chemical energy
• C. The energy of the cell is utilised in conduction of the redox reaction
• D. The potential energy of the cell is converted into electrical energy

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The conversion of the chemical energy liberated during redox reaction to electrical energy is done by Daniel cell and has an electrode potential of $1.1 V$.

$Zn _{( s )}+ Cu _{( aq )}^{2+} \rightarrow Zn _{( aq )}^{2+}+ Cu _{( s )}$
