Explain construction of Daniel cell. Write half cell reactions. How is Daniel cell symbollically represented?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


At anode zinc gets oxidised. Electrons flow through external circuit. At cathode `Cu^(+2)` ions get reduced.
At anode: `Zn to Zn^(+2)+2e^-`
At cathode: `Cu^(+2)+2e^(-) to Cu`
`Zn(s)|Zn^(+2) (aq) ||Cu^(+2) (aq) |Cu(s)`
(s and aq are not value points)
