In electrolytic cell electricity carries________________?
Correct answer: B. non-wpontaneous reaction
- A. spontaneous reaction
- B. non-wpontaneous reaction
- C. neutralization
- D. all of above
Explanation
An electrolytic cell uses an external electrical supply to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction. The likely wrong choice is spontaneous reaction, which occurs naturally in a galvanic cell without continuous external electrical energy.

About Redox Reactions
Redox reactions involve oxidation and reduction occurring together, with electrons transferred between species or oxidation numbers changing. The topic covers assigning oxidation states, identifying oxidizing and reducing agents, balancing redox equations by oxidation number or half-reaction methods, and connecting chemical changes with galvanic and electrolytic cells.
