What else can I help you with?
Is the cathode positive in a galvanic cell?
No, the cathode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Is the cathode or anode positive in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positive.
Is the anode positive or negative in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the anode is the negative 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 negative in a galvanic cell?
Yes, the anode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Is the cathode positive in a galvanic cell?
No, the cathode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Is the cathode or anode positive in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is positive.
Is the anode positive or negative in a galvanic cell?
In a galvanic cell, the anode is the negative electrode.
How is an electrolytic cell different from a galvanic cell?
Electrons flow in the opposite direction.
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 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 negative in a galvanic cell?
Yes, the anode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode 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.
Is it cathode minus anode?
Yes, in an electrochemical cell, the cathode is the negative electrode and the anode is the positive electrode.
What is a positive or negative pole of an electrochemical cell?
They are called the electrodes or terminals. The parts of a cell where current leaves and enters the cell. The cathode is the positive, the anode is the negative.
