  • In Nelson's cell, an aqueous solution of concentrated NaCl is used for the industrial production of NaOH, while in Down's cell fused or molten NaCl is used for obtaining sodium metal
  • In Nelson's cell, three main chemicals are obtained as products that are Hydrogen gas, Chlorine gas and NaOH whereas in down's cell chlorine gas and sodium metal is produced as a product.
  • In Down's cell, graphite is used as anode and iron is used as cathode. But, in Nelson's cell perforated steels is made cathode and grapite as anode.

What is the difference between a galvanic cell and a voltaic cell?

A voltaic battery is also known as a voltaic pile, which is a set (or pile) of galvanic cells linked together in series to create a larger voltage than could be generated by a single galvanic cell. Therefore a voltaic cell would simply be one element of the pile which is also one galvanic cell.

What kind of cell has a negative cell voltage?

An electrolytic cell


What is another name for the galvanic cell?

Who invented the voltaic cell?

A Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively.In 1780, Luigi Galvani discovered the Galvanic cell.The volatic pile invented by Alessandro Volta in the 1800s is similar to the galvanic cell.


Is galvanic cell and voltaic cell same?

Yes, galvanic cell and voltaic cell are the same type of electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. They both rely on redox reactions to generate an electric current.


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.


Which is formed when a standard hydrogen half's is connected with a salt bridge to a standard zinc half's?

This forms a galvanic (voltaic) cell (battery).


What are bridges?

A salt bridge is a device used in chemistry laboratories to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a voltaic cell (galvanic cell).
