Question:

Which is true about galvanic cell?

Options:

It involves spontaneous redox reaction.

It involves conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.

In these cells electric current flow from cathode to anode from external circuit.

All of these.

Correct Answer:

In these cells electric current flow from cathode to anode from external circuit.

Explanation:

In a galvanic cell, the half-cell in which oxidation takes place is called anode and it has a negative potential with respect to the solution. The other half-cell in which reduction takes place is called cathode and it has a positive potential with respect to the solution. It involves spontaneous redox reaction and chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
