Given below are two figures of Daniell cell (X) and (y). Study the figures and mark the incorrect statement from the following.

Options

A. In fig (X), electrons flow from Zn rod to Cu rod hence current flows from Cu to Zn `(E_"ext " lt 1.1 V)`
B. In fig (Y), electrons flow from Cu to Zn and current flows from Zn to Cu `(E_"ext" gt 1.1 V)`
C. In fig (X), Zn dissolves at anode and Cu deposits at cathode.
D. In fig (Y), Zn is deposited at Cu and Cu is deposited at Zn.

Answer

D

Explanation

In fig. (Y) , zinc is deposited at the zinc electrode and copper dissolves at copper electrode
