Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a galvanic cell, which electrode is the site of reduction?
  • Step 1: Understand what a galvanic cell is. It is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions.
  • Step 2: Identify the two electrodes in a galvanic cell: the anode and the cathode.
  • Step 3: Know that reduction is the gain of electrons.
  • Step 4: Remember that in a galvanic cell, reduction occurs at the cathode.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the cathode is the site of reduction where electrons are gained.
