Question

Statement 1: For the Daniell cell $Zn | Zn^{2+} || Cu^{2+} |$ Cu with $E_{cel|} = 1.1 V,$ the application of opposite potential greater than 1.1 V results into flow of electron from Cu to Zn.
Statement 2: Zn is deposited at anode and Cu is deposited at cathode.

• A. If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.
• B. If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.
• C. If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.
• D. If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$Zn$ is -ve electrode and $Cu$ is +ve electrode in Daniel cell.
