In an electrolytic cell
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.
An electrolytic cell
In an electrolytic solution, the carriers of current are ions. These can be positively charged ions (cations) moving towards the negative electrode (cathode) or negatively charged ions (anions) moving towards the positive electrode (anode) to maintain charge balance during electrolysis.
Electrolytic cell
The electrode where reduction occurs.
In an electrolytic cell, the anode is designated as positive.
A zincode is a positive electrode of an 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.
Oxidation occurs at the anode of an electrolytic cell.
-0.59 V
Ni(s)
Copper ions will move towards the cathode (negative electrode) and iron ions will move towards the anode (positive electrode) in an electrolytic cell.
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
Cu(s)
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.
