To accurately identify the type of electrochemical cell, I would need a description or image of the cell in question. Generally, electrochemical cells can be classified as galvanic (or voltaic) cells, which generate electrical energy from spontaneous chemical reactions, or electrolytic cells, which require an external power source to drive non-spontaneous reactions. If you can provide more details, I can give a more specific answer.

The anode in an electrochemical cell has this charge?

The Anode in electrochemical cell has negative charge (-ve).


What is a voltiac cell?

A voltaic cell is also called a Galvanic Cell. It is an electrochemical cell, but unlike other electrochemical cells it uses spontaneous redox reactions to create electricity.


Why cathode is positive in electrochemical cell but different in electrolytic cell?

In an electrochemical cell (galvanic cell), the cathode is positive because it is where reduction occurs, attracting cations from the electrolyte. Conversely, in an electrolytic cell, the cathode is negative because it is connected to the external power source, which forces electrons into the electrode, facilitating reduction at that terminal. Thus, the polarity of the cathode changes depending on the type of cell and the direction of the current flow.


What are Electrochemical fuel cells?

Lots of things have an electrochemical cell in them. That electrochemical cell is a battery. You cell phone has at least two of them. There is a small one that "keeps alive" memory if you remove the primary battery. A flashlight has a cell or cells in it. We could go on all day. Motor vehicles have a battery, which is a collection of electrochemical cells. Note that a battery could be composed of a single cell, like the "AAA", "AA", "C" and "D" cells. We call them batteries, but they are a single electrochemical cell. A 9-volt battery, on the other hand, has several cells in it stacked in series so their voltages add. That car battery we mentioned is 6 electrochemical cells "long" so that the voltages will sum to the 12 volts (which is actually a bit over 13 volts).


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.

How does hydrogen fuel cell differ from electrochemical cell?

A hydrogen fuel cell is a type of electrochemical cell that produces electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen to generate power. The key difference is that in a hydrogen fuel cell, the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) are continuously supplied externally to sustain the electricity generation process, while in a typical electrochemical cell, the reactants are contained within the cell and eventually get depleted.
