Interpretation:
The place(electrode) where oxidation takes place in an electrolytic cell needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The anode is an electrode which carries positive charge in an electrolytic cell.

Answer to Problem 56A
Oxidation takes place at the anode in an electrolytic cell which is the positively charged electrode.
Explanation of Solution
Since the anode is positively charged it forces the negatively charged ions(anions) to leave their electrons and become oxidized.
The positive charge electrode at which oxidation occurs is the anode.
