Question

Where does reduction occur in an electrochemical cell?

O A. Cathode
O B. Porous barrier
O c. Anode
O D. Conducting wire

Answer 1

A. Cathode

The direction of electron flow in electrolytic cells, however, may be reversed from the direction of spontaneous electron flow in galvanic cells, but the definition of both cathode and anode remain the same, where reduction takes place at the cathode and oxidation occurs at the anode
