Answer 2

Advantages of mercury cell

Explanation:

• Mercury cell is more advantageous than that of the dry cell because dry cell has very short life span due to he conversion of zinc to zinc chloride that makes the zinc casing porous.
• Due to this porous casing, the substance inside the cell leaks out and corrodes the metal, reducing the lifetime of the cell.
• While, in the case of mercury cell, the overall reaction does not involve formation of any ion in the solution whose concentration can change during its life time.
