Question

NEED AN ANSWER ASAP!!! PLSSS

Compare and contrast an electrolytic cell with a voltaic cell. Provide one example where both are present in daily life.

Answer 1

ELECTROLYTIC CELL

An electrochemical cell in which a non-spontaneous chemical reaction takes place when electric current is passed through the solution,is called an electrolytic cell.

EXAMPLE

Nelsons cell and Downs cell

VOLTAIC CELL OR GALVANIC CELL

The electrochemical cell in which a spontaneous chemical reaction takes place and generates electric current is called galvanic and voltaic cell.

EXAMPLE

Daniel cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

In both voltaic and electrolytic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode, while reduction occurs at the cathode. Thus, both these cells exhibit redox reactions. In both these cells, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode through the externally connected conductor.
