Which of the following is incorrect in a galvanic cell?
- A Oxidation occurs at anode.
- B Reduction occurs at cathode.
- C The electrode at which electrons are gained is called cathode.
- D The electrode at which electrons are lost is called cathode.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) The electrode at which electrons are lost is called cathode.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The electrode at which electrons are lost is called cathode isincorrect, because electrode at which electrons are lost is
called anode as oxidation, that is, oxidation takes place at anode.
called anode as oxidation, that is, oxidation takes place at anode.
