An electrolytic cell uses an external power source to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electricity is used to force electrons through the cell, causing a redox reaction to occur at the electrodes. This allows for the production of new chemical compounds or the separation of substances.
What else can I help you with?
Is the anode positive or negative in an electrolytic cell?
In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive.
Which electrode, the anode or cathode, is designated as positive in an electrolytic cell?
In an electrolytic cell, the anode is designated as positive.
What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
What direction do electrons flow in a electrolytic cell?
Electrons flow from the negative electrode (cathode) to the positive electrode (anode) in an electrolytic cell. This is the opposite direction of conventional current flow.
In which cell does a current drive a nonspontaneous redox reaction?
A nonspontaneous redox reaction is driven by an external source of electrical energy, such as a battery, when a current passes through the electrolytic cell. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative; electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, and oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode.
Where does reactions occur in a electrolytic cell?
In an electrolytic cell

What kind of cell has a nonspontaneous?
An electrolytic cell
What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
What kind of cell has non spontaneous voltage?
Electrolytic cell
What happens at the anode in an electrolytic cell?
oxidation
Where does reduction happen in an electrolytic cell?
cathode
How can a galvanic cell become electrolytic cell?
A galvanic cell can become an electrolytic cell by applying an external voltage that is of opposite polarity to the cell's spontaneous voltage. This external voltage can overcome the natural tendency of the cell to generate electricity and drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction in the reverse direction, converting it into an electrolytic cell.
What kind of cell has a negative cell voltage?
An electrolytic cell
