  1. Positive or Negative Anode/Cathode in Electrolytic/Galvanic Cell

    Sep 27, 2014 · 65 In a galvanic (voltaic) cell, the anode is considered negative and the cathode is considered positive. This seems reasonable as the anode is the source of electrons and cathode is …

  2. Half cells: difference between E (cell) = E (cathode}-E (anode) & E ...

    2 When do I use each of the above? If I use one or the other they give me difference results. For example, I'm trying to put the Volts into an equation to find standard free energy change. $$\Delta …

  3. electrochemistry - If electrolysis splits water, why does only either ...

    When electrons are added to water at the cathode, they are attracted to the partial positive charge of the "hydrogen side" of water, and can then form an orbit around a hydrogen.

  4. redox - Electrolysis of AgNo3 - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    You would get silver at the cathode, and oxygen at the anode. Since silver is below hydrogen in the spectrochemical series,it tends to get reduced over hydrogen, similarly, since $\ce {NO3-}$ is above …

  5. Why do they use graphite electrodes in the Hall–Héroult process?

    During the electrolysis process, aluminium is deposited at the cathode and oxygen is liberated at the anode. Some of this oxygen reacts with the carbon in the graphite to form carbon-dioxide, thus …

  6. Cathode + Anode + Rechargeable battery - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    May 15, 2014 · The cathode is a metal oxide and the anode consists of porous carbon. During discharge, the ions flow from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte and separator; charge …

  7. everyday chemistry - What's the chemical equation for the lithium iron ...

    The title says it all, I'm searching for the chemical equation to the lithium iron phosphate battery. I know that the cathode is made of $\\ce{LiFePO4}$ and that upon discharging, it is transformed...

  8. How exactly does the electrolysis of water work?

    Then it might have to do with the electric field that exists through out the water between the anode and cathode. Does this electric field somehow transfer energy to the water molecules and split them ? …

  9. electrochemistry - Why is the standard electrode potential positive for ...

    Aug 9, 2022 · As the electrons flow from the anode to the cathode (higher potential to lower potential), the cathode should possess a lower electrostatic potential than the anode. That means that the …

  10. Hydrogen fuel cell - why do the H+ ions move through the electrolyte

    Feb 19, 2015 · My first question is this: why is the anode negative if it is attracting electrons? My second question refers to the fact that once the hydrogen atoms are iodised, the H+ ions move through the …
