An electrolytic cell uses a direct electric current to drive non-spontaneous redox reactions. It consists of an electrolyte and two electrodes - a cathode and anode. At the anode, oxidation occurs and electrons are released. At the cathode, reduction occurs and electrons are accepted. Electrolytic cells are used for electroplating metals, recharging batteries, and separating pure metals from compounds through electrolysis. They are also called electrolytic cells and consist of an electrolyte solution along with two electrodes.

2. What does electrolytic cell really mean ?
electrolysis or an electrolyte an electrolytic cell
also : produced by or used in electrolysis
electrolytic copper.

3. What is electrolytic cell ?
Electrolysis is a technique that uses a direct electric
current (DC). An electrolytic cell has three
component parts: an electrolyte and two electrodes (a
cathode and an anode). ... The electrical energy
provided can produce a chemical reaction which would
not occur spontaneously otherwise.

4. How does electrolytic cell work ?
An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical
energy. Here, the redox reaction is spontaneous and is
responsible for the production of electrical energy. ... The
reaction at the anode is oxidation and that at the cathode is
reduction. The electrons are supplied by the species getting
oxidized.

5. What are the uses of electrolytic cells?
Electrolytic cells are used for all kinds of things:
electroplating metals, recharging a battery, and separating
pure metals from metallic compounds. When electrolytic
cells are used to separate chemical compounds, the process
is known as electrolysis.

6. What is the other name of electrolytic cell?
The electrochemical cells which generate an electric current
are called voltaic cells or galvanic cells and those that
generate chemical reactions, via electrolysis for example, are
called electrolytic cells.
