  • In chemistry, an electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive. The most typical electrolyte is an ionic solution, but molten electrolytes and solid electrolytes are also possible.

How the defect of simple cell are corrected in a dry cell?

The defects of a simple cell in a dry cell are corrected by using a paste electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte. The paste electrolyte prevents leakage and increases the stability of the cell. Additionally, the construction of the dry cell includes a seal to prevent exposure to air and moisture, which further improves its performance.


How are wet and dry cells the same?

A wet cell and a dry cell are the same in that they each have an anode, a cathode and and electrolyte. All three components are different chemically. The anode and the cathode will exhibit a voltage difference when placed in the electically conductive electrolyte. The voltage and reaction between the three parts of the cell are chemical reactions. A wet cell is different from a dry cell in that the electrolyte in the wet cell is a liquid where the so-called dry cell has an electrolyte that is either damp, moist or in a gelatinous form. ( The electrolyte is not actually "dry".) Otherwise the cells are the same. The cell may be a primary cell that is depleted as one of the elements is chemically consumed or the cell may be rechargable by reversing the chemical reaction.

Is acid an electrolyte for a dry cell?

Yes, acid can act as an electrolyte in a dry cell battery. It helps to facilitate the flow of ions between the two electrodes, allowing the battery to generate electricity. However, dry cell batteries typically use a paste electrolyte rather than liquid acid to prevent leakage.
