Question

Are Voltaic Cells Rechargeable?


Open in App
Solution

  1. A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses a chemical reaction to produce electrical energy.
  2. The important parts of a voltaic cell are the anode and cathode.
  3. The anode is an electrode where oxidation occurs.
  4. The cathode is an electrode where reduction occurs.
  5. Voltaic Cells are cells that use an irreversible redox reaction (which is a chemical reaction) to produce an electric current in a circuit.

Therefore, voltaic cells are non-rechargeable.
