Question

Which of the following statements does not differentiate between electrochemical cell and electrolytic cell?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

In absolutely all types of cells (both galvanic/electrochemical and electrolytic), oxidation always occurs at the anode and reduction always occurs at the cathode. Therefore, the nature of the chemical reactions occurring at the respective electrodes is identical and cannot differentiate between the two. Therefore, correct answer is B.
