| | List-I (Cell) | | List-II (Use/Property/Reaction) | |---|---|---|---| | A. | Leclanche cell | I. | Converts energy of combustion into electrical energy | | B. | Ni-Cd cell | II. | Does not involve any ion in solution and is used in hearing aids | | C. | Fuel cell | III. | Rechargeable | | D. | Mercury cell | IV. | Reaction at anode: |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- a
A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- b
A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
- c
A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- d✓
A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Strategy: Match each primary/secondary/fuel cell type with its defining chemical characteristic or application area as studied in basic electrochemistry.
Analysis:
- (A) Leclanché cell: The standard dry cell where Zinc acts as the anode: . (Match IV)
- (B) Ni-Cd cell: A secondary battery known for being rechargeable. (Match III)
- (C) Fuel cell: Specifically designed to convert the chemical energy of combustion (e.g., ) directly into electricity. (Match I)
- (D) Mercury cell: Uses a Zinc-Mercury amalgam and ; it maintains a constant voltage and is common in hearing aids. (Match II)
