What direction do electrons flow in a electrolytic cell?
Electrons flow from the negative electrode (cathode) to the positive electrode (anode) in an electrolytic cell. This is the opposite direction of conventional current flow.
Which electrode do the copper iron move towards?
Copper ions will move towards the cathode (negative electrode) and iron ions will move towards the anode (positive electrode) in an electrolytic cell.
What would the cathode be in nickel and copper electrolytic cell?
Ni(s)
What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
Is it cathode minus anode?
Yes, in an electrochemical cell, the cathode is the negative electrode and the anode is the positive electrode.
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode

What is the sign convention for the cathode and anode in an electrolytic cell?
Anode is the positive electrode while cathode is the negative electrode. Negative ions(anions) travel towards the anode(hence the name) Positive ions(cations) travel towards the cathode(hence the name) Example for anode:Copper Example for cathode:Zinc

Ni(s)
What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
What is an electrobe that has a positive charge?
Assuming this is a misspelling of "electrode" ... Electrochemistry can be confusing, because the answer depends on the type of device! In a galvanic cell (or discharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the cathode. However, in an electrolytic cell (or recharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the anode. The easiest way to keep this straight is to remember that the cathode is the one the cations (positively charged ions) migrate towards, and the anode is the one the anions (negatively charged ions) migrate towards.
Where does reduction occur in an electrolytic cell?
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.
What is a positive electrode?
A positive electrode is a cathode. A negative electrode is an anode.An anode is positively charged, while a cathode is negatively charged.
Why cathode is positive in electrochemical cell but different in electrolytic cell?
In an electrochemical cell (galvanic cell), the cathode is positive because it is where reduction occurs, attracting cations from the electrolyte. Conversely, in an electrolytic cell, the cathode is negative because it is connected to the external power source, which forces electrons into the electrode, facilitating reduction at that terminal. Thus, the polarity of the cathode changes depending on the type of cell and the direction of the current flow.
Is Standard Calomel Electrode can act as cathode?
Yes, the Standard Calomel Electrode (SCE) can act as a cathode in certain electrochemical cells. When connected to a suitable anode in a galvanic cell or connected to a positive terminal in an electrolytic cell, the SCE can gain electrons and undergo reduction at its surface.
Is it cathode minus anode?
Yes, in an electrochemical cell, the cathode is the negative electrode and the anode is the positive electrode.
