How can a galvanic cell become electrolytic cell?

A galvanic cell can become an electrolytic cell by applying an external voltage that is of opposite polarity to the cell's spontaneous voltage. This external voltage can overcome the natural tendency of the cell to generate electricity and drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction in the reverse direction, converting it into an electrolytic cell.


How can galvanic cell become and electrolytic cell?

A galvanic cell can become an electrolytic cell by applying an external voltage greater than the cell's electromotive force (EMF). This reverse process forces the spontaneous redox reaction to go in the opposite direction, causing the cell to consume electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous reaction. Essentially, the galvanic cell, which generates electricity from chemical reactions, can be converted into an electrolytic cell that requires electricity to induce chemical changes. This transformation is commonly seen in processes like electrolysis.


What is another name for the galvanic cell?

A battery that produces electricity


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.
