Question

Difference between galvanic cell and concentration cell

Answer 1

Here is in your answer____


Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy.Both the electrodes are placed in a same container in the solution of molten electrolyte. Here the anode is negative and cathode is the positive electrode. The reaction at the anode is oxidation and that at the cathode is reduction.

Galvanic cells are batteries. The redox reaction in the battery always has a positive voltage due to different chemical species.

Concentration cells are batteries and discussed these after we covered the Nernst Equation. The redox reaction always has a positive voltage due to the same chemical species having different concentrations.
