Why do electrochemical cells stop working?
1 Answer

When one compound of in the anode of electrochemical cell is oxidized, those electrons serve to reduce the compound at cathode side. When the material at anode no longer has electrons to loose, the reaction stops and cell stops working.
In simpler words, it basically where the metal in a cell has been reacting with the acid for a while (losing electrons) and it soon runs out of them. And of course one they are all lost there are no more electrons to use and it stops working.
- Googling some research with further increase the depth of your knowledge and understanding of the question.
