Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a galvanic cell, what occurs at the anode?
  • Step 1: Understand what a galvanic cell is. It is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a redox reaction.
  • Step 2: Identify the two main parts of a galvanic cell: the anode and the cathode.
  • Step 3: Know that the anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs.
  • Step 4: Remember that oxidation means losing electrons.
  • Step 5: Recognize that the substance that loses electrons at the anode is called the reducing agent.
