Consider the figure given: Cell ‘A’ has E Cell = 2 V and Cell ‘B’ has E Cell = 1.1 V which of the two cells ‘A’ or ‘B’ will act as an electrolytic cell. Which electrode reactions will occur in this cell?
Options
- ACell ‘A’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf
- BCell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf
- CBoth Cell ‘A’ and ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell
- DNeither Cell ‘A’ nor Cell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell
Correct answer
B. Cell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Cell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf
