Answer:

Match each term with the best description.

a. The electrode where oxidation occurs: Anode

b. A device that produces electricity: Galvanic cell

c. The connection between two half-cells: salt bridge

d. The electrode where reduction occurs: Cathode

e. A device that consumes electricity: Electrolytic cell

f. A device that utilizes redox reactions to either consume or produce electricity: Electrochemical cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.The electrode where oxidation occurs is called the anode.

Oxidation is losing of electrons.

b. Galvanic cell produces electricity by using redox chemical reaction.

It is also called a voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

c. The connection between two cells is called a salt bridge.

It will not allow the solutions to diffuse with each other.

It maintains electrical neutrality.

d. The electrode where reduction occurs: Cathode

Reduction means the gaining of electrons.

e. Electrolytic cell is the one that consumes electricity and then produces a chemical change.

f. A device that utilizes redox reactions to either consume or produce electricity: Electrochemical cell.
