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

    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: B

    Solution :

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