Question

role of ZnCl2 in drycell

Answer 1

the space between  the electrodes  in dry cell  is filled  by a moist paste of ammonium chloride.[nh4cl2] and zinc chloride ..zncl2 act as an electrodes.. zncl2 provides zinc  and   chloride ions of  complete the complex  reaction occuring in the cell...

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is known that batteries of dry-cell consists of zinc chloride paste because zinc chloride helps the cell by providing electric power to different substances.

Also, zinc chloride helps in the conduction of electricity. In order to complete the complex reaction that takes place within the cell zinc chloride provides both zinc and chloride ions. As a result, zinc chloride helps in maintaining electrical neutrality within the cell.
