one of the differences between a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell is that in an electrolytic cell: group of answer choices o2 gas is always produced at the cathode. a non-spontaneous reaction is forced to occur. only non-aqueous electrolyte solutions can be used. an electric current is produced by a chemical reaction. electron transfer does not occur. electrons flow towards the anode.

Respuesta :

The key difference between voltaic and electrolytic cells is that in a voltaic cell, the flow of electrons is the result of a spontaneous redox reaction, whereas in an electrolytic cell, electrons are pushed by an outside power source, such as a battery.

In an electrolytic cell,  The creation of electrical energy in this instance is caused by a spontaneous redox reaction. Electrical energy must be provided to start the redox reaction since it is not spontaneous. An external voltage in an electrolytic cell causes a current to flow through the cell, which in turn triggers a chemical reaction that is not spontaneous. The development of a spontaneous chemical reaction in a galvanic cell results in the passage of an electric current.
