Which of the following describes the main difference between electrolytic and galvanic cells? Eºcell for the reaction associated with an electrolytic cell is positive and Eºcell for for the reaction associated with a galvanic cell is negative. O Electrolytic cells use a spontaneous chemical reaction to generate electric current whereas galvanic cell drive a nonspontaneous reactions using electric current. The reactions associated with electrolytic cells have AG < 0 and those associated with galvanic cells have AG > 0. O Electrolytic cells drive a nonspontaneous reaction with electric current whereas galvanic cells generate electric current using spontaneous chemical reaction. In an electrolytic cell, electrons flow from cathode to anode. In an galvanic cell, electrons flow from anode to cathode.

reaction to generate electric current whereas
galvanic cell drive a nonspontaneous reactions
using electric current.
The reactions associated with electrolytic cells
have AG < 0 and those associated with galvanic
cells have AG > 0.
O Electrolytic cells drive a nonspontaneous reaction
with electric current whereas galvanic cells
generate electric current using spontaneous
chemical reaction.
O In an electrolytic cell, electrons flow from cathode
to anode. In an galvanic cell, electrons flow from
anode to cathode.
