Which of the following statement(s) differentiate between electrochemical cell and electrolytic cell?
Options
A.Spontaneous or non-spontaneous nature of the chemical process.
B.Chemical reactions occurring at the electrodes.
C.Positive and negative nature of anode.
D.Dependence on Faraday’s law.
Solution
Net cell reaction is spontaneous in electrochemical cell but non-spontaneous in electrolytic cell. Cathode is +ve in electrochemical cell but –ve in electrolytic cell.
