An electrolytic cell is different from a voltaic cell because in an electrolytic cell?

In an electrolytic cell, an external power source is needed to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction, while in a voltaic cell, the redox reaction is spontaneous and generates electric energy. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a voltaic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive.


What is the reaction in a fuel cell spontaneous and non spontaneous?

Spontaneous ...Happens all by itself; typically unpredictableNon-spontaneous...You have to do something to make it happen.

How can one identify a redox reaction?

A redox reaction can be identified by the transfer of electrons between reactants. Look for changes in oxidation states of elements involved in the reaction to determine if it is a redox reaction.
