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 is the difference between electrolytic reduction and electrolytic refining under these heads a. electrodes b. electrolytes c. reaction at positive and negative electrodes?

The difference between electrolytic refining and electrolytic reduction is as follows: a. In electrolytic reduction graphite electrodes are used which are of same size. in electrolytic refining the anode is made of the impure metal which is to be purified and the cathode is made from that pure metal. initially the cathode is thick and the anode is very thin. b. the electrolyte used in electrolytic refining is the metal sulphate with acid (acid id added to increase the conductivity) which is aqueous in nature. whereas in electrolytic reduction molten chloride form of the solution is used. c. The impure metal at the anode displaces the metal from the aqueous solution and the these ions go to the cathode and attach to the cathode as they are now pure. basically the impure metal at the anode directly doesn't go to the cathode, its a indirect process. as the reaction goes on, the size of the anode reduces and finally disappears and the cathode becomes thick as all the impure metal is converted into pure metal. this happens in electrolytic refining. whereas in electrolytic reduction the metal from the molten solution deposits on the cathode and chlorine gas is evolved at the anode. general differences: a. in electrolytic reduction no anode mud is formed and in electrolytic refining anode mud is formed from the impurities oh the impure metal. b. electrolytic reduction is done to extract metals of high reactivity from their ores. electrlolytic refining is done to purify (refine) metals from their impure form.


What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?

Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.


Which soluctions exhibit high electrolytic behavior?

Mostly ionic solutions are the ones which are used as electrolytes. It is because of the concentration of the ions produced in the solution. So, they act as suitable electrolytes.

Why does bathwater have electrolytic behavior but distilled water does not?

Pure (distilled) water does not conduct electric current (is dielectric), while naturally occurring water has dissolved salts (fresh water less than salt water). The salts make water electrolytic.


what do we call the chemical reaction that uses an electrical current to decompose a compound?

electrolytic decomposition reaction.


Where does reactions occur in a electrolytic cell?

What is the different in electrolytic and non-electrolytic solution?

Electrolytic solutions contain ions that can conduct electricity, while non-electrolytic solutions do not have ions that conduct electricity. In electrolytic solutions, the electrolytes dissociate into positive and negative ions when dissolved in water, allowing for the flow of electrical current. Non-electrolytic solutions do not dissociate into ions and therefore do not conduct electricity.

Is the anode positive or negative in an electrolytic cell?

Does one solutions exhibit high electrolytic behavior?

Yes, solutions with high concentrations of ions, such as strong acids or bases, exhibit high electrolytic behavior because they can readily conduct electricity due to the presence of abundant free ions. Weak electrolytes or non-electrolytes, on the other hand, have lower conductivity as they have fewer free ions available.
