Which of the following statements about voltaic cells is not always true? In an operating voltaic cell anions migrate towards the anode. In an operating voltaic cell the mass of an anode decreases. In an operating voltaic cell the reduction half-reaction occurs at the cathode. In an operating voltaic cell cations migrate towards the cathode. In an operating voltaic cell electrons flow from the anode towards the cathode.

Which statement below about voltaic and electrolysis cells is NOT true? Electrolytic cells are non-spontaneous Voltaic, galvanic and battery are synonyms that indicate the electrochemical cell is spontaneous The sign of the cathode in an electrolysis cell is opposite the sign of a voltaic cell. In both electrolysis and voltaic cells, the electrons flow through the external circuit to the anode.

Which of the following statements concerning galvanic cells is NOT true? a. A salt bridge allows cations and anions to move to the half-cells to balance charge. b. Electrons flow from a cathode to an anode in the external circuit. c. Reduction occurs at the cathode. d. A galvanic cell can be used as a source of electricity.

Of the following statements concerning electrochemical cells, the correct ones are: (a) The cathode is the negative electrode in both voltaic and electrolytic cells. (b) The function of a salt bridge is to permit the migration of electrons between the half-cell compartments of an electrochemical cell. (c) The anode is the negative electrode in a voltaic cell. (d) Electrons leave the cell from either the cathode or the anode, depending on what electrodes are used. (e) Reduction occurs at the cathode in both voltaic and electrolytic cells. (f) If electric current is drawn from a voltaic cell long enough, the cell becomes an electrolytic cell. (g) The cell reaction is an oxidationreduction reaction.
