A galvanic cell has electrical potential of 1.1 V. If an opposing potential of 1.1 V is applied to this cell, what will happen to the cell reaction and current flowing through the cell?
- The reaction stops and no current flows through the cell.
- The reaction continuous but current flows in opposite direction.
- The concentration of reactants becomes unity and current flows from cathode to anode.
- The cell does not function as a galvanic cell and zinc is deposited on zinc plate.
Answer
(A) The reaction stops and no current flows through the cell.
