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

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.


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.
