In an electrolytic cell
An electrolytic cell
Electron flow is from anode (+) to cathode (-)
an electric current causes a chemical reaction
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
The electrode where reduction occurs.
A zincode is a positive electrode of an electrolytic cell.
The electrode where reduction occurs
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
A: at the anode in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell
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.
500 electrons per second, exactly.
The positive electrode is a graphite rod (elemental carbon).
