Question

Define electrolyte and electrolytic cell.​​

Answer 1

$\huge\underbrace{αηsωεя}$

→Electrolytes are compounds that conduct electricity when they are in a solution or in a molten state. Two examples of electrolytes are NaCl (sodium chloride) and CuSO4 (copper sulphate) . Two examples of non-electrolytes are distilled water and kerosene.

→A Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy. Here, the redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy.
