Question

Statement $1$: In an electrolytic cell, the anode becomes positive and the cathode becomes negative.
Statement $2$: Anions migrate to the anode and cations migrate to the cathode.

• A. Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement $1$.
• B. Both the Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct, but Statement $2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement $1$.
• C. Statement $1$ is correct, but Statement $2$ is not correct.
• D. Statement $1$ is not correct, but Statement $2$ is correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both the Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct, but Statement $2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement $1$.

In electrolytic cell	In galvanic cell
Anode $=+ve$	Anode $=-ve$
Cathode $=-ve$	Cathode $=+ve$

Anions migrate to anode in electrolytic cell.

Cations migrate to cathode in electrolytic cell.
