Electrolytic Cell (2)

Science

Not quite remember

I easily remember

Electrolytic cell (1)

In an electrolytic cell, electric current flows through an electrolyte to produce a chemical reaction

Electrolytic cell (2)

Electrical energy is converted to chemical energy through electrolysis

Chemical cell (voltaic cell or galvanic cell) (1)

In a chemical cell, chemical changes that occur in the cell produce an electric current

Chemical cell (voltaic cell or galvanic cell) (2)

Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy in the cell

Function of the electrical source in an electrolytic cell

Produce electric current to carry out electrolysis

Definition of electrode

The electric conductor that is connected to the battery and enables electric current to enter or leave the electrolyte during electrolysi

Definition of anode

The electrode connected to the positive terminal of the electrical source

Definition of cathode

The electrode connected to the negative terminal of the electrical source

Electrolyte

Substances in the molten or aqueous state which allow electric current to flow through them and undergo chemical changes

Definition of non-electrolytes

Substances which do not allow electric current to flow through them in the molten or aqueous state
