In a galvanic cell, electrons are transferred from one half cell to the other as the redox reaction progresses.

What happens in each half cell?

The half cell in which the electrode gains electrons is where ________occurs, and the half cell in which the electrode loses electrons is where ________ occurs.


Choices for both blanks
Oxidation
Reduction
Precipitation

Respuesta :

the two process that occur in a cell are

oxidation: this is loss of electron by electrode. the metal electrode loaes electrons and get oxidized and forms ions

the ions get migrated to solution


Reduction: here the ions present in solution gains electron and get deposited on electrodes.

so gain of electrons is by ions


electrode gains electrons is where reduction occurs, and the half cell in which the electrode loses electrons is where oxidation occurs.
