A daniell cell is a system comprising a copper container, a solution of copper ions, a porous pot, a solution of zinc ions and a zinc rod. When the zinc rod and the copper container are connected by a wire, the zinc rod is oxidised to zinc 2+ ions, which releases two moles of electrons per mole of zinc decayed. These electrons flow round the wire to the positive electrode, the zinc container, where the copper ions in the solution are reduced to copper metal. If components eg. A light bulb, are placed within the circuit, the electron flow from the zinc to the copper electrode will power the bulb.

Difference between daniell cell and voltaic cell?

A Daniell cell is a specific type of voltaic cell that utilizes a zinc anode, a copper cathode, and a solution of copper sulfate and zinc sulfate to generate electricity through redox reactions. Voltaic cell is a broad term encompassing any electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous redox reactions. Daniell cell is an example of a voltaic cell.


What is the potential difference of daniell cell?

The potential difference of a Daniell cell is around 1.1 volts under standard conditions. This cell generates electricity through the oxidation of zinc at the anode and reduction of copper at the cathode. The flow of electrons between the two electrodes creates the potential difference.

How can you produce electricity from dry cell?

we can produce it in the way of a zinc.


What does a photoelectric need to produce electricity?

A photoelectric cell or solar cell needs sunlight to produce electricity. When sunlight strikes the cell, it excites electrons in the material of the cell, generating an electric current through the cell.


Is Daniell cell a fuel cell?

The Daniell cell (Daniel cell) was invented in 1836 by John Frederic Daniell, a British chemist and meteorologist, and consisted of a copper pot filled with a copper sulfate solution, in which was immersed an unglazed earthenware container filled with sulfuric acid and a zinc electrode. As such it is more akin to a battery than a fuel cell.

Why an electric cell stops working after using for sometime?

There is only a finite amount of the chemicals (i.e. metals, electrolyte) used to produce the electricity. When they have been consumed the cell can no longer produce electricity and stops working.


Does the thermal cell produces electricity directly from sunlight?

No it doesn't, solar cells produce electricity directly from sunlight.


How do you describe a daniell cell?

The Daniell cell was the first truly practical and reliable electric battery that supported many nineteenth century electrical innovations such as the telegraph. In the process of the reaction, electrons can be transferred from the corroding zinc to the copper through an electrically conducting path as a useful electric current. Zinc more readily loses electrons than copper, so placing zinc and copper metal in solutions of their salts can cause electrons to flow through an external wire which leads from the zinc to the copper
