Question

Which of the following is not the name of a secondary cell?
A. Storage cell
B. Fuel cell
C. Alkali cell
D. Acid cell

Answer 1

Hint: Cell is a device that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy.There are two types of cells, which include primary cell, and secondary cell. In secondary cells, reversible reaction occurs. In the primary cell there are no reversible reactions, only irreversible reactions take place.

Complete answer:
When the chemical reactions take place, the chemical energy will convert into electrical energy. The device that can convert the chemical energy into electrical energy is known as a cell. They are two types of cells namely primary cell, and secondary cell. In the primary cell, the irreversible chemical reactions take place. These cells can be used only once.

In the secondary cell, the reversible chemical reactions take place. These cells can be used more than once. Out of the given cells, storage cell, fuel cell, alkali cell, and acid cell. Fuel cells are different from secondary cells. As fuel cells require a continuous source of fuel and oxygen for the continuous take place. This cell cannot be charged and cannot be used more than once. Thus, a fuel cell is not a secondary cell.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Note: Storage call means the cell that can be recharged and can be used again. The acid cell is an electric storage cell with an acid electrolyte. The alkali cell is an electric storage cell with alkali electrolyte like sodium hydroxide. All the above-mentioned cells are examples of primary cells.
