What happens to the mass of the metal anode as the cell continues to operate?
It depends on the specifics of the cell, but in most simple galvanic cells, the anode slowly dissolves into solution.
Electrons in a galvanic cell normally flow?
A galvanic cell is a spontaneous reaction so electron flow will occur as long as a salt bridge is present.
How is an electrolytic cell different from a galvanic cell?
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
What is an anodization?
The elctrode that is oxidized in a galvanic cell
What is an oxidising electrode?
according to me anode should be oxidizing electrode as oxidation reaction takes place on anode
What is a Anode?
The electrode that is oxidized in a galvanic cell ~
Which is the electrode is the anode in a galvanic cell?
The electrode with the highest oxidation potential
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode 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.
What is oxidized in a galvanic cell?
The anode
I don't understand. What are anodes and cathodes Positive or Negative I keep seeing different answers everywhere Thanks.?
It can be complicated depending on the type of cell one is looking at. However, here is my simple explanation.The anode is the electrode where the oxidation reaction takes place, and oxidation is the loss of electrons, so in a galvanic cell the anode is a source of free electrons and so it is negatively charged.The cathode is the electrode where reduction takes place, and reduction is the gain of electrons, so in a galvanic cell the cathode is positively charge and ready to accept negatively charged electrons.Now, the anode isn't always negative and the cathode isn't always positive. It has to do with the direction of current flow (anode = current in, cathode = current out). In an electrolytic cell, the charges on the anode and the cathode are reversed from that seen in a galvanic cell.
What is the negative electrode of a voltaic cell called?
This is the anode.
What is oxidized in galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrode?
The aluminum metals
What is the cathode of a galvanic cell made with magnesium and gold?
the gold electrode
What happens to the mass of the metal anode as the cell continues to operate?
It depends on the specifics of the cell, but in most simple galvanic cells, the anode slowly dissolves into solution.
What is the electrode where oxidation takes place?
A: at the anode in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell
Electrons in a galvanic cell normally flow?
A galvanic cell is a spontaneous reaction so electron flow will occur as long as a salt bridge is present.
