    Question

    Dry cell is also known as

    1. Leclanche cell
    2. Wet cell
    3. Primary cell
    4. Secondary cell

    hintHint:

    These cells don't possess a free liquid electrolyte. It's a zinc-carbon primary cell.

    The correct answer is: Leclanche cell

      The dry cell is also known as the leclanche cell.
      • Primary voltaic cells are what Leclanche's cell is.
      • It has moist viscous aqueous paste of the electrolytes instead of mobile liquid electrolyte.
      • It is an irreversible, non-rechargeable voltaic cell.
      • The cathode is a carbon (graphite) rod surrounded with powdered manganese dioxide and carbon, while the anode is a zinc container that also serves as the cell's anode.
      • A moist paste of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) fills the gap between the electrodes (ZnCl2).
