डेनियल सेल निर्माण

क्लासिक जस्ता-तांबा गैल्वेनिक सेल बनाना

Electrochemistry Intermediate (High School) 45 मिनट ~$20.00

उद्देश्य

मानक सेल विभव मापने और प्रत्येक इलेक्ट्रोड पर विद्युत रासायनिक अभिक्रियाओं का अवलोकन करने के लिए डेनियल सेल बनाएं।

पृष्ठभूमि

The Daniell cell is a classic electrochemical cell that uses zinc and copper half-cells connected by a salt bridge. Zinc is oxidized at the anode while copper ions are reduced at the cathode. The theoretical cell potential is 1.10 V under standard conditions.

सुरक्षा चेतावनियाँ

  • Copper sulfate is toxic if ingested
  • Wear gloves when handling copper sulfate solution
  • Handle hot agar solution with care

उपकरण

Two 250 mL beakers U-tube or cotton wick Multimeter Sandpaper Hot plate

प्रक्रिया

1

Prepare the salt bridge: dissolve 5 g KNO₃ and 2 g agar in 30 mL hot water. Pour into a U-tube and allow to set.

10 मिनट Handle hot liquids carefully
2

Sand the zinc and copper strips until shiny to ensure good contact.

3 मिनट
3

Pour 100 mL of 1M ZnSO₄ into one beaker and 100 mL of 1M CuSO₄ into the other.

2 मिनट Wear gloves for CuSO₄
4

Place the zinc strip in the ZnSO₄ solution and the copper strip in the CuSO₄ solution.

2 मिनट
5

Connect the two beakers with the salt bridge.

2 मिनट
6

Connect the multimeter between the zinc (negative) and copper (positive) terminals. Measure the cell voltage.

3 मिनट
7

Observe both electrodes over 15 minutes. Note any color changes in the solutions and deposits on the electrodes.

15 मिनट
8

Record the voltage and observations. Compare the measured EMF with the theoretical value of 1.10 V.

5 मिनट

अपेक्षित परिणाम

The cell should produce approximately 1.0-1.1 V. The zinc strip will slowly dissolve (oxidation), the blue CuSO₄ solution will become lighter, and copper metal will deposit on the copper strip (reduction).

सफाई

Dispose of copper sulfate solution in heavy metal waste. Rinse and dry the metal strips for reuse. Clean the salt bridge.
