All of the following are characteristics properties of electrolytic cell EXCEPT:
Correct answer: B. Anode has negative charge and cathode has positive charge in this cell
- A. It involves conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy
- B. Anode has negative charge and cathode has positive charge in this cell
- C. It is reverse of addition reaction
- D. It is an endothermic process
Explanation
The correct answer is B) Anode has a negative charge, and cathode has a positive charge in this cell. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is the positive electrode, and the cathode is the negative electrode, which is the opposite of what is stated in option B. This is because electrolytic cells use an external power source to drive the reaction. Option A correctly describes the conversion of electrical to chemical energy characteristic of electrolytic cells. Option C incorrectly relates the process to addition reactions, which is unrelated. Option D correctly identifies the endothermic nature of electrolytic processes.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
