Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a Daniell cell,the standard cell potential is $1.1 \ V$. When an external voltage $E_{	ext{external}}$ is applied such that $E_{	ext{external}} > E_{	ext{cell}}$,the cell acts as an electrolytic cell. In this state,the direction of current flow reverses,moving from the cathode $(Cu)$ to the anode $(Zn)$. Consequently,electrons flow from $Zn$ to $Cu$,and the chemical reaction becomes $Zn^{2+} + Cu \longrightarrow Zn + Cu^{2+}$.

In the Daniell cell,$Zn|Zn^{2+} || Cu^{2+}|Cu$,when an external voltage is applied such that $E_{\text{external}} > E_{\text{cell}}$,current flows from.........
