Chemistry · Electrochemical cells: Electrolytic and Galvanic cells, different types of electrodes, electrode potentials including standard electrode potential, half-cell and cell reactions

A half cell reaction is one which:

A half cell reaction is one which:

  • A. involves only half a mole of electrolyte
  • B. goes only half way to completion
  • C. takes place at one electrode
  • D. consumes half a unit of electricity

Step-by-step solution

A half-cell reaction is defined as the reduction or oxidation reaction occurring at a single electrode in an electrochemical cell. It does not refer to the amount of electrolyte, completion extent, or electricity consumed.
