What solid is commonly used as an inactive electrode in electrochemical cells?

Platinum is commonly used as an inactive electrode in electrochemical cells due to its inert nature and resistance to corrosion during the electrochemical reactions.


What tissue connects electrochemical impulses?

Nervous tissue contains cells that send and receive electrochemical signals.


What is the name of the cell that conducts electrochemical signals in the nervous system?

Neurons use electrochemical signals to send any kind of information through the body.


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).


Where do chemical reactions occur in electrochemical cells?

Chemical reactions occur at the electrodes of electrochemical cells. At the anode, oxidation occurs as electrons are released into the circuit, and at the cathode, reduction occurs as electrons are accepted from the circuit. This flow of electrons creates an electric current in the cell.
