- Undergoes oxidation (loss of electrons) (correct)
- Produces electrical energy
- Is positive
- Undergoes reduction (gain of electrons)
Which type of cell spontaneously undergoes oxidation-reduction reactions to produce electrical energy?
Which type of cell spontaneously undergoes oxidation-reduction reactions to produce electrical energy?
- Galvanic cell (correct)
- Electrolytic cell
- Absorption spectroscopy cell

What is the formula to calculate the cell potential (Ecell) in an electrochemical cell?
What is the formula to calculate the cell potential (Ecell) in an electrochemical cell?
- Ecell = Eanode - Ecathode
- Ecell = Eanode / Ecathode
- Ecell = Eanode + Ecathode (correct)
- Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode
