Question

About an electrolyte cell, which of the following is true?

• A. An electric current causes an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction to occur
• B. Reduction occurs at the anode
• C. A spontaneous electrochemical reaction produces an electric current
• D. The electrode to which electrons flow is where oxidation occurs
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A An electric current causes an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction to occur

During electrolysis, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy. An electric current is passed through electrolytic solution which derives non spontaneous reaction.
