Question
Give reason why graphite is used for making elecrode in a dry cell.

Solution
Graphite is a non-corrosive non-metal and a good conductor of electricity. It is also cheap and insoluble in water, acids and bases. It is inert (does not react) to the electrolytes present in the dry cells. Thus, it makes a good material for an electrode.
