In a Daniell cell, zinc electrode acts as:
Correct answer: B. Anode and gets oxidized
- A. Cathode and gets reduced
- B. Anode and gets oxidized
- C. Cathode and gets oxidized
- D. Anode but gets reduced
Explanation
In daniel cell zinc electrode is anode where it get oxidized by losing electron.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
