In which of the following cells, the space between cathode and anode is filled by a moist mixture of ammonium choride and zinc chloride?
Options
- AMercury cell
- BLeclanche cell
- CNickel-cadmium cell
- DFuel cell
Correct answer
B. Leclanche cell
Step-by-step solution
Leclanche cell consist of a zinc container which acts as anode. The cathode is a carbon (graphite) rod surrounded by a mixture of powdered manganese dioxide and carbon. The space between cathode and anode is filled by a moist mixture of ammonium chloride and zinc chloride.
