Question

In an electrolytic cell where electrolysis is carried, anode has : (a) Positive charge (b) Negative charge (c) Connected to negetive terminal of the battery (d) none of the above

Answer 1

In any electrolytic cell where electrolysis is carried out, anode has : (a) Positive charge.

- In any cell the anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.

- In an electrolytic cell, the positive electrode accepts the negative ions (or we can say anions) and thus behaves as an oxidizing agent.

- So in an electrolytic cell, the anode is taken to be positive while the cathode is negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

Positive charge

Explanation:

In any cellthe anode is the electrode at with oxidation occurs
