Q.

Statement A: For the Daniell cell Zn|Zn2+||Cu2+|Cu with Ecell=1.1V,

the application of opposite potential greater than 1.1 V results into flow of electron from Cu(cathode) to Zn(anode).

Statement B: Zn is deposited at anode and Cu is dissolved at cathode.

Detailed Solution

On applying an external voltage greater than 1.1 V in a Daniel cell,the current flows from Zn to Cu

and electrons flow from Cu to Zn

Zn is deposited at Zn electrode and Cu dissolves at Cu electrode.

The reaction is, 

Zn+2+CuZn+Cu+2
