In a Daniel cell, the anode is made of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In a Daniel cell, the anode is made of:
A. Copper
B. Zinc
C. Platinum
D. Graphite
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In a Daniel cell, the anode (where oxidation occurs) is a zinc rod immersed in ZnSO₄ solution. The cathode is a copper rod in CuSO₄ solution. Zinc is more reactive, so it loses electrons (Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻) and acts as the negative terminal of the cell.

Question #1
In a redox reaction:
A. Only oxidation occurs.
B. Neither oxidation nor reduction occurs.
C. Oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.
D. Only reduction occurs.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Redox stands for reduction-oxidation. In any redox reaction, oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons) always occur simultaneously. The substance oxidized acts as a reducing agent, and the substance reduced acts as an oxidizing agent. One cannot happen without the other.

Question #2
The chemical formula of DAP is:
A. NH₄H₂PO₄
B. (NH₄)₃PO₄
C. (NH₄)₂HPO₄
D. (NH₄)₂SO₄

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is (NH₄)₂HPO₄. It is produced by reacting ammonia with phosphoric acid: 2NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₂HPO₄. It contains 18% N and 46% P₂O₅. Monoammonium phosphate (MAP) is NH₄H₂PO₄. Ammonium sulfate is (NH₄)₂SO₄. Triammonium phosphate is unstable. DAP is widely used as a starter fertilizer.

Question #3
Assertion (A): Hydrogen is a better fuel than CNG. Reason (R): Hydrogen is highly explosive and difficult to store safely.
A. A is false but R is true.
B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
D. A is true but R is false.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Hydrogen has a higher calorific value than CNG, making it a better fuel in terms of energy output per unit mass. However, R states it is explosive and hard to store, which is a disadvantage, not the reason it is a better fuel. Thus, both are true, but R does not explain A.
