Question

Which of the following statements about galvanic cell is incorrect?

• A. Reduction occurs at cathode
• B. Oxidation occurs at the electrode with lower reduction potential
• C. Cathode is positive
• D. Anode is positive

Answer 1

The correct option is D Anode is positive

In an galvanic cell, the anode undergoes oxidation and the cathode undergoes reduction. This means that the anode loses electrons while the cathode gains electrons. However, the anode is negatively-charged while the cathode is positively-charged
