Which of the following statements is correct for the life period of a galvanic cell
Correct answer: B. It increases with an increase in the concentration of the anodic solution.
- A. It increases with an increase in the concentration of the cathodic solution
- B. It increases with an increase in the concentration of the anodic solution.
- C. It increases with an increase in the size of the cathode
- D. It increases with a decrease in the size of the anode
Explanation
The life period of a galvanic cell is determined by various factors, and among the given options, the correct statement is:b. It increases with an increase in the concentration of the anodic solution.The life period of a galvanic cell is often influenced by the rate of consumption of the anode. If the concentration of the anodic solution is increased, it may slow down the rate of consumption of the anode material, thereby increasing the overall lifespan of the cell. This is particularly relevant in situations where the anode undergoes corrosion or dissolution during the operation of the cell.

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.
