A battery is an arrangement of electrolytic cells.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me at a job interview.The above asked question is from Electrochemistry topic in portion Electrochemistry of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) False

For EXPLANATION I WOULD say: A battery is not an arrangement of electrolytic cells, but an arrangement of electrochemical cells. An electrochemical cell is ONE which CONVERTS chemical energy into ELECTRICAL energy whereas an electrolytic cell is one which converts electrical energy into chemical energy. Since batteries convert chemical energy to electrical energy, it is an arrangement of electrochemical cells.
