if the external circuit is replaced by a source of electricity that opposes the voltaic cell, the electrode reactions can be reversed.Now,the external source pushes the electrons in the opposite direction and supplies energy or work to the cell so that the reverse non-spontaneous reaction occurs.

What are the main components in a voltaic cell?
Anode - the electrode at which oxidation occurs. Cathode - the electrode at which reduction occurs. Electrolytes - containing the ions involved in the redox reaction.
In which cell does a current drive a nonspontaneous redox reaction?
Electrolytic cell
Another name for voltaic cell is?
The other name of voltaic cell is galvanic cell
What balances charges that may build up as reduction and oxidation occur in a voltaic cell?
The Zinc metal is oxidized, while the Copper ion is reduced. The reverse reaction, the oxidation of Copper and the reduction of Zinc ion, is not spontaneous.
What is voltaic cell?
in electolysis, the whole arrangement of electrodes electrolyte and the vessel containimg them is called voltaic cell.
An electrolytic cell is different from a voltaic cell because in an electrolytic cell?
an electric current causes a chemical reaction
How does a voltiac cell work?
The voltaic cell work under the principle of redox reaction which involves the transfer of electrons from one electrode to another.
What are the main components in a voltaic cell?
Anode - the electrode at which oxidation occurs. Cathode - the electrode at which reduction occurs. Electrolytes - containing the ions involved in the redox reaction.
How can a galvanic cell become an electrolytic?
the redox reaction is reserved
What is a voltiac cell?
A voltaic cell is also called a Galvanic Cell. It is an electrochemical cell, but unlike other electrochemical cells it uses spontaneous redox reactions to create electricity.

the redox reaction is reserved
How can a galvanic cell become a electrolytic cell?
The Redox Reaction Is Reversed
How can a galvanic cell become electrolytic cell?
The Redox Reaction Is Reversed
What occurs at the cathode of the galvanic cell?
The reduction half-reaction of a redox reaction
Which best describes a galvanic cell a battery containing a non spontaneous reaction a battery containing an acid and a base a battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction a battery that requires?
spontaneous redox reaction
What is the history of the first galvanic cell?
A Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively, is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from spontaneous redox reaction taking place within the cell. It generally consists of two different metals connected by a salt bridge, or individual half-cells separated by a porous membrane.Volta was the inventor of the voltaic pile, the first electrical battery. In common usage, the word "battery" has come to include a single Galvanic cell, but a battery properly consists of multiple
