Question

Which of the following statements is correct regarding Galvanic cell ?

• A. It converts electrical energy into chemical energy
• B. It converts metal from its elemental state to the combined state
• C. It converts electrolyte into individual ions
• D. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy

Answer 1

The correct option is D It converts chemical energy into electrical energy

Correct Answer: option A
An electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of spontaneous redox reactions into electrical energy is known as a galvanic cell or a voltaic cell.
Daniel’s cell is an example of a galvanic cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In Daniel’s cell, copper ions are reduced at the cathode while zinc is oxidized at the anode.
