Question

what is the difference between an electrolytic cell and an electrochemical cell?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electrochemical cells converts chemical energy into electrical energy or vice versa . An electroclytic cell is a type of electro chemical cell in which electrical energy is converted in to chemical energy . Electrolytic cell consist of a postively charged anode and negatively charged cathode

Answer 2

Electrochemical cells :-

• Chemical energy converted into electrical energy.
• Anode is negative and cathode is positive.
• Salt bridge required.
• Spontaneous process.
• Ions are discharge only at cathode.
• Concentration of electrolyte increases in oxidation half cell .
• Concentration of electrolyte decreases in reduction half cell.
• Two electrodes dipped separate vessel.

Electrolytic cells :-

• Electrical energy converted into chemical energy.
• Anode is positive and cathode is negative.
• No salt bridge used.
• Non spontaneous process.
• Ions are discharge both electrodes.
• Concentration of electrolyte decreases iA oxidation half cell
• Concentration of electrolyte increases in reduction half cell
• Both the electrodes in one vessel.
