Types of Electrochemical Cells

• An electrolytic cell is a type of electrochemical cell that converts electrical energy into chemical energy.

Components of a Daniel Cell

• The salt bridge in a Daniel cell allows ions to flow between the two half-cells, maintaining electrical neutrality.
• The salt bridge is typically composed of a gel or paper soaked in a potassium chloride or sodium chloride solution.
• The electrodes in a Daniel cell are made of zinc (anode) and copper (cathode).

Function of Components in a Daniel Cell

• The zinc rod acts as the anode, where oxidation occurs.
• The purpose of an ammeter or voltmeter in a Daniel cell is to measure the electric current or voltage produced by the cell.
• In an electrochemical cell, the salt bridge functions to maintain the electrical neutrality of the system.
• An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
• The electrolyte solution in the container with the copper rod in a Daniel cell is typically a copper(II) sulfate solution.
