Chemical reactions occur between the electrolyte and the electrodes in an electrochemical cell. These reactions cause one electrode to become negatively charged and the other electrode to become positively charged.

The shape of the charge has nothing to do with the chemical reaction. The reaction depends on the explosive material used.

Why do you think it is advantageous to use inert electrodes in the electrolysis processes?

If the electrodes are not inert, then they are going to become part of the chemical reaction, rather than just being conduits for electricity, and if they become part of the chemical reaction, they are going to get used up, and you will wind up with no electrodes.

What is a battery end called?

Electrodes... Positive (anode) and Negative (cathode) electrodes which are attached to the terminals. The electrodes provide the chemical energy which is converted to a flow of electrons. And the electrolyte, the electrolyte separates the electrodes but allows for the passages of electrons and ions for the electro-chemical reaction of the electrodes.

Is the products of the reaction shown in a balanced chemical equation?

. A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

What are the main components in a voltaic cell?

A voltaic cell consists of two electrodes (an anode and a cathode), an electrolyte solution to allow ions to flow between the electrodes, and a salt bridge or other barrier to maintain charge neutrality. The chemical reactions at the electrodes generate an electrical potential difference between the electrodes, allowing for the flow of electrons through an external circuit.


How the parts of a cell interact to produce a current?

In a electrochemical cell or a battery there are two electrodes and an electrolyte. Chemical reaction occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte which causes one of the electrodes to be positively charged and the next one to be negatively charged. The differences between the two electrodes creates voltage. When the battery is now connected to a circuit it makes a current.


Should net charge be balanced on both sides of the reaction arrow?

Yes, in a balanced chemical reaction, the total charge on each side of the reaction arrow should be the same to maintain overall charge neutrality. Balancing charges ensures that the reaction obeys the principles of conservation of charge.
