What is true of both galvanic and electrolytic cells?
*electrolytic cells Oxidation occurs at the cathode
How are elecrolytic cells used in everyday life?
Electrolytic cells are used in everyday life for processes like electroplating jewelry and electronics components, refining metals, and producing chemicals like bleach and aluminum. They are also used in the production of hydrogen for fuel cells and in the electrolysis of water for oxygen generation.
How does an electrolytic cell differ from a voltaic cell?
A Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively, is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from chemical reactions 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.An electrolytic cell decomposes chemical compounds by means of electrical energy, in a process called electrolysis; the Greek word lysis means to break up. The result is that the chemical energy is increased. Important examples of electrolysis are the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, and bauxite into aluminum and other chemicals.
Why ammonium nitrate is used in salt bridge?
Ammonium nitrate is used in salt bridges because it provides a medium for ion flow between half-cells in galvanic cells. It helps maintain electrical neutrality by allowing ions to move between the half-cells to balance the charges as the cell operates.
Why is distilled water not used as electrolyte?
Distilled water is not used as an electrolyte because it does not contain enough ions to facilitate the flow of electricity in an electrolytic cell. Without ions present in the water, the conductivity necessary for electrolysis to occur is greatly reduced. Addition of electrolytes like salts can help improve the conductivity of water in electrolytic cells.
What is a cell that requires energy in order to run?
Galvanic cells run spontaneously and do not require any energy to run to completion, but Electrolytic cells require energy to run to completion, and are non-spontaneous.
What kind of cells has a nonspontaneous voltage?
An electrolytic cell
Where can you find the article regarding electrolytic cells in the NEC?

What cells would you use to electroplate silver in iron?
an electrolytic cell.
What is true of both and electrolytic cells?
reduction happens at the cathode Oxidation happens at the anode
Which cells would you use to electroplate silver (Ag) on iron (Fe)?
An electrolytic cell
What is the true of both galvanic and electrolytic cells?
They are nonspontaneous
What is the purpose of the pieces of porous pot?
Porous pots are used in electrolytic cells to separate the two half-cells while allowing ion flow between them. This helps prevent mixing of the electrolytes and enables the cell to function properly. It also helps maintain the concentration gradients needed for the electrolytic process.
What is electrolytic cells?
It is a cell that contains an electrolyte in which an electrochemical reaction produces an electromotive force.
What does Cells require to burn up food?
cells require oxygen to burn sugar.
