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

The half-cell reaction is the one that:

The half-cell reaction is the one that:

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

Step-by-step solution

In electrochemistry, a half-cell reaction refers to the oxidation or reduction reaction that occurs at a single electrode. The overall cell reaction is the combination of two half-reactions, each taking place at one electrode.
