In the Daniell cell,the anode is zinc metal and the cathode is copper metal.When the cell operates,the anode gets smaller and the cathode gets larger.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anode gets smaller and the cathode gets larger in a Daniell cell as zinc ions are oxidized at the anode and electrons flow through the wire to the copper ions at the cathode, reducing them to copper metal. This causes the zinc anode to dissolve and the copper cathode to grow in size.
