What else can I help you with?
Is the cathode or anode positive in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positive.
Is the cathode positive or negative in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is the positive electrode.
What would be the cathode in a magnesium and zinc galvanic cell?
The magnesium would be the cathode in a galvanic cell with zinc. Reduction occurs at the cathode during cell operation, and in this case, magnesium is reduced while zinc undergoes oxidation at the anode.
Is the anode positive in a galvanic cell?
Yes, the anode is positive in a galvanic cell.
Which component, the anode or cathode, is more prone to corrosion in a galvanic cell?
The anode is more prone to corrosion in a galvanic cell.
Is the cathode or anode positive in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positive.
Is the cathode positive or negative in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is the positive electrode.

Is the anode positive in a galvanic cell?
Yes, the anode is positive in a galvanic cell.
Which component, the anode or cathode, is more prone to corrosion in a galvanic cell?
The anode is more prone to corrosion in a galvanic cell.
How is an electrolytic cell different from a galvanic cell?
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
Is the anode positive or negative in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the anode is the negative electrode.
What is the cathode of a galvanic cell made with magnesium and gold?
the gold electrode
What occurs at the cathode of the galvanic cell?
The reduction half-reaction of a redox reaction
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.
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 happens at the cathode in an electrolytic cell?
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
