The anode in an electrochemical cell has this charge?

The Anode in electrochemical cell has negative charge (-ve).


In an electrochemical cell where are electrons produced?

at the anode


What parts of the cell are used to connect a electrochemical cell to a circuit?

The nodes of the electrochemical cell are called the electrodes. The Cathode is the + end (of a battery). Negative charge enters through it. The - end is called the anode.


What is always true during the operation of any electrochemical cell?

E.Electrons move away from the anode.


What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?

Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.


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.

What is cathode and anode?

cathode is electron negative but anode is positiveAnswerFor electrochemical cells, electrons travel through the external circuit from the anode to the cathode.


What happens to the mass of the metal anode as the cell continues to operate?

It depends on the specifics of the cell, but in most simple galvanic cells, the anode slowly dissolves into solution.


Difference between electrolysis and electrochemical cells?

In an electrochemical cell, electrons move spontaneously from anode to cathode. In electrolytic cell, energy has be applied to make electrons move in the circuit. Electrochemical cell are easy to create.


What happens at the anode and cathode of a dry cell?

Oxidation occurs at the anode ("an ox") and reduction occurs at the cathode ("red cat").See the Web Link to the left for the specific reaction in a dry cell.
