Why does hydrogen gas liberate at Cu electrode in Zn-Cu cell?
In a zinc-copper cell, zinc gives up electrons, forming the negative terminal of the cell, and the electrons flows as electric current through wires. When the electrons reach the other positive terminal, electrolysis of the electrolyte takes place at the positive terminal. Hydrogen ions and the cation of the electrolyte will be attracted to the positive Copper electrode. The hydrogen ions, being less reactive than the cation ions, will take up the electrons on the copper electrode, forming hydrogen gas.
What do you call the electrode connected to negative terminal of a cell?
The negative terminal is called the anode
What is the electrode where oxidation takes place?
A: at the anode in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell
What happens when sodium ions come in contact with the negative electrode in a cell used for electrolysis?
the world end
What do the paste like mixture of a battery do?
It acts as a medium to keep the positive and negative plates of the battery separate, but also allows electrons to flow freely.
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
Do electrons flow from the positive to the negative terminal of a wet cell?
Electrons have a negative charge. For that reason, electrons will always flow in the opposite direction of the current, which flows from positive to negative. Electrons will therefore move from a negative terminal to a positive terminal when we look at the load on a cell. Within the cell, the electrons will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

What is meant by anode and cathode?
Anode is positive electrode which attracts the negative anions while cathode is the negative electrode which attracts the positive cations during electrolysis.
What is the anode and cathode of a lead storage battery?
Anode : The end which is at a lower negative potentialCathode: The end which is at a higher negative potentialAnswerThe cathode is the terminal towards which free electrons drift in a cell's external circuit. In other words, when the cell is discharging, it is the positive electrode.
What is an electrobe that has a positive charge?
Assuming this is a misspelling of "electrode" ... Electrochemistry can be confusing, because the answer depends on the type of device! In a galvanic cell (or discharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the cathode. However, in an electrolytic cell (or recharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the anode. The easiest way to keep this straight is to remember that the cathode is the one the cations (positively charged ions) migrate towards, and the anode is the one the anions (negatively charged ions) migrate towards.
In a dry cell the carbon rod releases electrons and becomes the positive or negative terminal?
In a dry cell, the carbon rod is the positive terminal, or anode.
What kind of material is used to make the positive electrode of a dry cell?
The positive electrode is a graphite rod (elemental carbon).
The shortage of electrons exists at the blank termnal of a dry cell?
The shortage of electrons exists at the positive terminal of a dry cell. The function of the negative terminal is to pick up the electrons.
What is a zincode?
A zincode is a positive electrode of an electrolytic cell.
What is the sign convention for the cathode and anode in an electrolytic cell?
Anode is the positive electrode while cathode is the negative electrode. Negative ions(anions) travel towards the anode(hence the name) Positive ions(cations) travel towards the cathode(hence the name) Example for anode:Copper Example for cathode:Zinc
How current flow from positive to negative terminal in cell?
DC current. Some experts argue that indications show that electrons flow from negative to positive (According to current arguments), but it is assumed generally that electrons flow from positive to negative.
