So the difference between a galvanic cell and an electrolytic cell is that one of them gets energy and the other one provides it.
00:16
So galvanic cell is the one that gets energy, and the electrolytic cell is the one that provides.
00:24
And so what i mean by that is that the reaction going on in a galvanic cell has an e0 that is greater, or actually not even an e not, just an e, because the concentrations could not.
00:36
At 1 molar.
00:37
So it has an e value of cell potential that is greater than zero volts, which means it happens spontaneously.
00:43
That's a really important thing to remember.
00:45
Galvanic cells involve spontaneous reactions.
00:51
An electrolytic cell has a cell that normally wouldn't occur.
00:55
It has an e voltage that's negative, and so it has a non -spontaneous reaction...
