Electrochemical cell or electrolytic cell is used in decomposing chemical compounds. It has three component in it, electrolyte (water or other solvents) and electrodes a cathode and an anode. Electrolysis is a Greek word meaning to break up.
The equation of Daniell cell is
Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
solid copper - cathode. Zinc at the anode.
