Question:

Match the entries of column I with appropriate entries of column II and choose the correct option out of the four options given.

Column I Column II
(a) Dry cell (i) Spongy lead as anode
(b) Ni-Cd cell (ii) Porous carbon electrodes
(c) Fuel cell (iii) Cd act as anode
(d) Lead storage battery (iv) Zinc acts as anode

 

Options:

(a)-(i), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv)

(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)

(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

(a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(i)

Correct Answer:

(a)-(iv), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)

Explanation:

(a) Dry cell: Dry cell is also known as Leclanche cell. Zinc metal acts as anode and inert graphite rod is surrounded by a paste of MnO2 and carbon black as cathode.

(b) Ni-Cd cell: Cd metal act as anode and nickel (III) compounds like NiO(OH) are supported on nickel acts as cathode.

(c) Fuel cell: The fuel (gaseous H2) and oxidising agent (gaseous O2) flow into separate cell compartments. Electrodes are made up of porous carbon impregnated with metallic catalyst.

(d) Lead storage battery: The anode, a series of lead grids packed with spongy lead and cathode, a series of grids packed with leaddioxide 38% by wt. of H2SO4 acts as an electrolyte.
