true

32
Q

Are galvanic cells and electrolytic cells the same? Why?
a. No. because galvanic cells are electrochemical cells in which chemical cells occur simultaneously; while in electrolytic cells, the chemical reaction is caused by an externally applied potential difference.
b. No, because galvanic cells need a constant supply of electricity while electrolytic cells depend on intermittent source of power.
c. Yes, because they both electrochemical cells and their uses are common to each other
d. Yes, because galvanic cells and electrolytic cells are both electrochemical cells.

A

a. No. because galvanic cells are electrochemical cells in which chemical cells occur simultaneously; while in electrolytic cells, the chemical reaction is caused by an externally applied potential difference.
