Solution

The correct option is D reduction occurs at the cathode
Reduction always occurs at cathode
Oxidation always occurs in anode
These two process occurs in same way independent of nature of cell whether voltaic or electrolytic.

Q. Which of the following statements are correct about voltaic cell?
(I) Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
(II) Electrons flow from anode to cathode.
(III) Oxidation occurs at anode.
(IV) Anode is negative and cathode is positive.

In electrolytic cell flow of electron is from :
a)cathod to anode in solution
b)cathode to anode through external supply
c)cathode to anode through internal supply
d)anode to cathode to internal supply

[Pls explain Concept and answer]

Q. Assertion :Anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs and cathode is the electrode at which reduction occurs. Reason: Anode and cathode in electrochemical cells and electrolytic cells have opposite polarity.

Q. In a discharge tube when

200 v o l t

potential difference is applied

6.25 \times 10^{18}

electron move from cathode to anode and

3.125 \times 10^{18}

singly charged positive ion move from anode to cathode in one second. Then the power of tube is:

Q. Assertion :In an electrochemical cell, the electrode that is the site of reduction is called the anode.
Reason: Oxidation always occurs at the cathode.
