Question

The correct statement/s about Galvanic cell is/are:
(a) Current flows from cathode to anode
(b) Anode is positive terminal
(c) If \(E_{\text{cell}} < 0\), then it is spontaneous reaction
(d) Cathode is positive terminal

• A. a, b, and c
• B. a, b, and c
• C. a, b, and c
• D. a and b only

Hint:

In a galvanic cell, the anode is negative, and the cathode is positive. The cell voltage must be positive for the reaction to be spontaneous.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In a galvanic cell: - Current flows from cathode to anode. - The anode is the negative terminal, and the cathode is the positive terminal. - If \(E_{\text{cell}}<0\), then the reaction is non-spontaneous. Therefore, the correct statement is that the cathode is positive, and the reaction will occur spontaneously when \(E_{\text{cell}}>0\). Thus, the correct answer is: - a, b, and c are correct.
