Solution
Dear student,
1. Electrolytic cells are electrochemical cells which drives a non spontaneous redox reaction through application of current. They are often used to decompoe compounds.
2. Cathode carry the negative charge.
1. The properties of Graphite is :
- It is conductive.
- It is inexpensive
4. ELECTROLYTIC CELL - Converts electrical into chemcal energy.
ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS : ​converts chemical to electric energy
Regards
