If the external voltage on a Daniell cell exceeds 1.1 V, what happens to the cell reaction?
AIt stops permanently
BIt speeds up forward
COnly zinc dissolves
DIt reverses direction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. It reverses direction
Beyond 1.1 V the opposing voltage dominates, so electrons are pushed back and the cell works as an electrolytic cell.
