In a Daniel cell, which metal acts as the anode?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C —
Solution
- The Daniel cell consists of a zinc electrode and a copper electrode.
- Oxidation occurs at the anode: .
- Reduction occurs at the cathode: .
- Therefore, zinc is the anode.
- Hence the answer is (C).
