In an electrolytic cell, electrical energy is transformed into chemical energy. This occurs when an external voltage is applied to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction to produce a desired chemical product.
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.
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
*electrolytic cells Oxidation occurs at the cathode
In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive.
The electrode where reduction occurs.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.

A.Oxidation occurs at the anode.B.Reduction occurs at the cathode.C.Electrical energy is converted to chemical energy.The negative terminal of the voltage source is attached to the cathode.
A cell with a negative voltage charge.

Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell. This is where cations in the electrolyte solution gain electrons and get reduced, leading to the deposition of a substance onto the cathode.
