Which of the following is true about Leclanche cell? |
Zinc container acts as anode and Carbon (graphite) rod acts as cathode. Zinc container acts as cathode and Carbon (graphite) rod acts as anode. Amalgam as anode and a paste of HgO and carbon as the cathode. Amalgam as cathode and a paste of HgO and carbon as the anode. |
Zinc container acts as anode and Carbon (graphite) rod acts as cathode. |
The Leclanche cell consists of a zinc container that also acts as anode and the cathode is a carbon (graphite) rod surrounded by powdered manganese dioxide and carbon . The space between the electrodes is filled by a moist paste of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2). |
