which of the following statement is true for the electrochemical daniell cell

Options

A. electrons flow from copper electrode to zinc electrode
B. current flows from zinc electrode to copper electrode
C. caation move towards copper electrode
D. cations move toward zinc electrode

Answer

C

Explanation

In Daniell cell following reaction occurs
`Zn+Cu^(2+) rarr Zn^(2+) +Cu`
At cathode `Cu^(2+) rarr Zn^(2+) +cu`
At anode `Zn rarr Zn^(2+) +2e^(-)`
Electrons moves from anode (Zn) to cathode (Cu) and electricity flows from Cu to Zn here cation move toward cathode copper electrode
