    What is the cell reaction occurring in Daniel cell (Galvanic cell)?

    A) \[Cu(s)+ZnS{{O}_{4}}(aq)\to CuS{{O}_{4}}(aq)+Zn(s)\]

    B)  \[Zn(s)+CuS{{O}_{4}}(aq)\to Cu(s)+ZnS{{O}_{4}}(aq)\]

    C)  \[Ni(s)+ZnS{{O}_{4}}(aq)\to NiS{{O}_{4}}(aq)+Zn(s)\]

    D)  \[2Na(s)+CdS{{O}_{4}}(aq)\to N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(aq)\]\[+\,Cd(s)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     In Galvanic cell (Daniel cell) the electrical energy is produced from chemical reactions. \[\begin{align}   & \text{At}\,\text{anode:}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Zn\to Z{{n}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\,\,\,(oxidation) \\  & \text{At}\,\text{cathode:}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\underline{C{{u}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to Cu\,\,\,(reduction)} \\  & \text{Cell}\,\text{reaction:}\,\,\,Zn\,+C{{u}^{2+}}\to Z{{n}^{2+}}+Cu \\ \end{align}\] or \[Zn(s)+CuS{{O}_{4}}(aq)\to Cu(s)+ZnS{{O}_{4}}(aq)\]
