Assertion : For the Daniel cell, Zn//Zn^(2+)||Cu^(2+)|Cu" with "E_(cell)=1.1V results into flow of electron from cathode to anode. Reason : Zn is deposited at anode and Cu is dissolved at cathode.

Answer»

if both Assertion and Reason are true andreason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
if bothassertion and reason are true but reason isnot the correct expalanation of the assertion
if assertion is true, reason is FALSE
both assertion and reason are false statements.

Solution :If the opposing potential becomes slightly LARGER than than cell, the direction, of current FLOWS is reversed and so is the cell reaction. Now zinc are aconverted to zinc at one electronde and Cu is CONVERTED into copper ion and the overall. Cell reaction becomes.
`Zn^(++)+Cu to Zn +Cu^(++)`
