Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an electrochemical cell, what is the anode?
  • Step 1: Understand that an electrochemical cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
  • Step 2: Identify the two main parts of the electrochemical cell: the anode and the cathode.
  • Step 3: Know that the anode is where oxidation occurs, which means that a substance loses electrons.
  • Step 4: Remember that when a substance loses electrons, it releases them into the circuit.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the anode is important because it is the site where the chemical reaction produces electrons for the flow of electricity.
