Question

In a Daniell cell,

• A. The chemical energy liberated during the redox reaction is converted to electrical energy.
• B. The electrical energy of the cell is converted to chemical energy.
• C. The energy of the cell is utilized in conduction of the redox reaction.
• D. The potential energy of the cell is converted into electrical energy.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The chemical energy liberated during the redox reaction is converted to electrical energy.

Answer 2

Daniell cell converts the chemical energy liberated during the redox reaction to electrical energy and has an electrode potential of $1.1V$

$Zn_{(s)} + Cu_{(aq)}^{2 +} \rightarrow Zn_{(aq)}^{2 +} + Cu_{(s)}$
