the gold metal
In an electrolytic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes, aluminum would be oxidized at the anode. This is because aluminum has a higher tendency to lose electrons compared to gold, making it more likely to undergo oxidation.
At the cathode of the electrolytic cell with zinc and aluminum electrodes, the reduction of aluminum ions into aluminum metal will occur. Aluminum ions gain electrons to form solid aluminum metal, while zinc remains unchanged as it does not participate in the reaction at the cathode.
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
