What else can I help you with?
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
What happens at the cathode in an electrolytic cell?
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
What do batteries store?
A battery stores energy through the potential difference between the anode and cathode of the battery. When there is no circuit the potential power is stored somewhat indefinitely (although it can degrade over time). Once a circuit is made, an electrolytic cell is created releasing energy as the chemical reaction occurs.
Does fertlisation happen inside the womb?
it doesn't happen in the womb it happens in the oviduct/fallopian tube. Fertilization happens when a haploid sperm cell fuses with a haploid egg cell and forms a diploid zygote cell
Does anode gain mass?
I'm not completely certain about this but I'm convinced that an anode actually loses mass. For example, in the cell equations for an Ag(s) cathode being dipped into an AgNO3 solution, connected to a Cu(s) anode being dipped into a Cu(NO3)2 solition, 2Ag+(aq) + 2e- -> 2Ag(s) (Cathode 1/2 reaction, reduction) Cu(s) -> Cu2+(aq) +2e- (Anode 1/2 reaction, oxidation) , the cathode reaction is taking the Ag+(aq) ions in the AgNO3- solution and turning them into solid silver, Ag(s). Therefore, I believe it is correct to assume that solid silver is being formed in the cathode solution. The anode half reaction however is the opposite, taking a solid copper atom, Cu(s), and turning it into an aqueous copper cation, Cu2+(aq). This leads me to believe that the copper rod (anode) is losing mass. So, I believe the cathode is gaining mass and the anode is losing mass.
What happens at the anode of an electrolytic cell?
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
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.
In the electrolytic cell electron flows from?
In the electrolytic cell, electrons flow from the negative terminal (cathode) to the positive terminal (anode). This flow allows for the oxidation of ions at the anode and the reduction of ions at the cathode, resulting in the desired chemical reactions to occur.
In which cell does a current drive a nonspontaneous redox reaction?
A nonspontaneous redox reaction is driven by an external source of electrical energy, such as a battery, when a current passes through the electrolytic cell. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative; electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, and oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode.
What is the significance of anode polarity in electrochemistry?
The significance of anode polarity in electrochemistry is that it determines the direction of electron flow in a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell. The anode is where oxidation occurs, and it is positively charged in a galvanic cell and negatively charged in an electrolytic cell. This polarity affects the overall reaction and the flow of ions in the cell.
What is true of both and electrolytic cells?
reduction happens at the cathode Oxidation happens at the anode
What is true of both galvanic and electrolytic?
reduction happens at the cathode Oxidation happens at the anode
What happens in the cathode in an electrolytic cell?
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
What does ode mean in anode?
In the term "anode," the prefix "an-" signifies that it is the positive electrode of a device, such as a battery or an electrolytic cell. The anode is where oxidation occurs and electrons are released.
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 electrode gets heavier in an electrolytic cell?
The electrode where reduction occurs.
