Question

The electrolyte of both the Iaclanche cell and the dry cell is ammonium chloride.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. A dry cell consists of a cylindrical container that acts as an anode and a graphite rod inside it that acts as a cathode.
2. Ammonium chloride is filled as a paste which acts as an electrolyte for the cell.
3. Similarly, in Iaclanche cells the electrolyte is ammonium chloride.
4. Hence Electrolyte used in dry cells and Iaclanche cells is Ammonium chloride i.e. ${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$.

Hence, the given statement is True.
