Three of the following require an external supply of electrical energy. The exception is

  • A.the anodising of aluminium
  • B.the electroplating of nickel on steel
  • C.a Daniell cell delivering current to a load
  • D.the electrorefining of copper

Answer: C

Correct answer: a Daniell cell delivering current to a load

A Daniell cell is galvanic: its reaction is spontaneous and it supplies electrical energy rather than consuming it. The other three are electrolytic, forcing a non-spontaneous reaction with an external supply - anodising to build an oxide film, electroplating to deposit nickel, and electrorefining to dissolve impure copper at one electrode and deposit pure copper at the other.
