Iâd highly recommend going to a Lumineers concert. Some seriously amazing band members who are very real, truthful, and down to earth. Not to mention, their music has the most balanced mix of instruments and lyrics that make you want to pay attention to every word.
Each half of the electrochemical cell has an electrode to which the wire for our external circuit is connected. The chemistry takes place at the surface of this electrode. The electrode on the oxidation side is called the anode. The electrode on the reduction side is called the cathode. As a short hand, we simply refer to the two sides of the cell as the anode side and the cathode side.
Electrolysis is a electrochemical (redox) reaction brought about by the application of a direct current. Electrolytic cells use an external source of direct current (DC) to drive reactions that would not otherwise be spontaneous. Electrolytic cells do not produce a cell potential but require a potential to operate.
