LOL:) @summer you could have given him to think !!!

anonymous · Answer

first d is wrong
then c is also wrong
at first I thought it would be either cathode OR anode material being used up
if so, a is the answer
but then I wad confused and questioned about if only the anode would be used up

chmvijay · Answer

at anode what reaction takes place in a battery

anonymous · Answer

ah. and at first my thoughts are in any redox but then I am not sure if I should specify on battery
well the question asks for battery right?

anonymous · Answer

by the way may I know if you have any answer in mind?

chmvijay · Answer

b. All anode material is used up as oxidation takes place here !!!the metal will come into the ions in solution and  deposit on cathode !!!! but cathode remains the same
