Question

an electrolytic cell differs from a voltaic cell in that the electrolytic cell?
options
a. uses an applied electrical current
b. involves redox reaction
c. is exothermic
d. produces an electric current

Answer 1

Voltaic cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy by means of an oxidation-reduction reaction. In a voltaic cell, the anode is the negatively charged electrode, while the cathode is the positively charged electrode. In an electrolytic cell, the cathode is negatively charged and the anode is positively charged.
