NEET Chemistry Galvanic Cells MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about galvanic cells is correct?
The cell potential is always negative when the cell is functioning.
The anode is where oxidation occurs and is represented on the left side of the cell diagram.
The reduction half-reaction occurs at the anode in a galvanic cell.
Galvanic cells require an external voltage to operate continuously.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The anode is indeed where oxidation occurs, and it is conventionally placed on the left side of the cell diagram. The cell potential is positive when the cell is functioning, and the reduction occurs at the cathode.
