Example of Galvanic Cell
Daniel’s cell is the most common example of a galvanic cell. The galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. For a Galvanic Cell Copper Ions are reduced at the cathode and Zinc Ions are oxidized at the anode.
Reactions taking place at the cathode and anode of a Galvanic cell are:
At Anode: Zn → Zn2+ + 2e–
At Cathode: Cu2+ + 2e– → Cu
Galvanic Cell
Galvanic Cell also called Voltaic Cell is an electrochemical device that converts spontaneous chemical energy generated in a redox reaction into electrical energy.
