In a dry cell (battery), which of the following are used as electrolytes?
✓ Correct answer: a) Ammonium chloride and Zinc chloride
ExplanationAmmonium chloride (NH4Cl) is a primary component of the electrolyte paste used in dry cells.Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) serves as the negative electrolyte, and it is often mixed with ammonium chloride in a paste to form the electrolyte for the dry cell.These components, along with a zinc anode and a carbon cathode, are commonly used in the construction of dry cells, which power small devices such as flashlights and radios.299
