question 63

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements regarding the polarities and electrode assignments in voltaic and electrolytic cells is correct?

• A)The anode and cathode remain the same regardless of whether the cell is voltaic or electrolytic; the difference is that the former releases energy and the latter consumes energy.
• B)Electrons flow from the cathode to the anode in a voltaic cell; the electron flow is reversed in an electrolytic cell.
• C)In a voltaic cell,the anode is positive and the cathode is negative; the opposite is true in an electrolytic cell (anode -; cathode +).
• D)In a voltaic cell,the anode is negative and the cathode is positive; the opposite is true in an electrolytic cell (anode +; cathode -).
• E)In both types of cells,the anode is positive and the cathode is negative because oxidation happens at the anode and reduction happens at the cathode.
