What is the difference between a galvanic cell and an electrolytic cell in electrochemistry?
Answer (1)
The main difference between a Galvanic cell and an Electrolytic cell is how they work.
-
Galvanic Cell
: Generates electrical energy from spontaneous reactions (e.g., batteries). Here energy is produced.
- Electrolytic Cell : Uses electrical energy to drive non-spontaneous reactions (e.g., electroplating). Here energy is consumed.
