Assertion: For the Daniel cell, Zn|Zn^(2+)||Cu^(2+)|Cu with E_(cell)=1.1V, the application of opposite potential greater than 1.1V results into flow of electrons from cathode to anode.

Answer»

If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true EXPLANATION of the assertion
if both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.
if assertion is true, but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution :Correct Explanation. On applyng external voltage greater than 1.1 V in the daniell cell, the electrons flow in the reverse direction, i.e., from CATHODE `(Cu^(2+)//Cu)` to ANODE `(ZN//Zn^(2+))`. The reverse reaction takes place
(i.e., `Zn^(2+)+CutoZn+Cu^(2+)`)
