In the Daniell cell, zinc dissolves at the anode and copper:
AStays free
BDeposits
CDissolves
DEvaporates
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Deposits
1. Zinc is oxidised, so the zinc electrode loses material.
2. Copper ions are reduced at the other electrode.
3. So copper is deposited on the cathode.
