<span>The answer would be: requires an outside energy source for a nonspontaneous chemical reaction to occur <span> An electrolytic cell is a cell that could change electric energy into chemical energy. It uses electric to induce a nonspontaneous chemical reaction. </span><span>Electrolytic cells are the </span>opposite of voltaic cells which will cause a spontaneous chemical reaction that produces electricity. </span>
The answer is because electrolytic cell requires an outside energy source for a non spontaneous chemical reaction to occur. Electrolytic cells require an input of electrical energy to cause oxidation-reduction reaction while voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses a chemical reaction to produce electrical energy.
