Answer:
The correct answer is <em>b. Negative</em>
Explanation:
An electrolytic cell is based on a reduction- oxidation reaction which is non spontaneous. That means that the standard cell potencial (Eº) is negative. For this reason, an electrical potential must be applied in order to force the reaction. Conversely, a galvanic cell is based on a spontaneous redox reaction, so the galvanic cell produces electrical energy.
If it isn't using energy, it's called diffusion
Answer : Normally in any chemical reaction, if the enthalpy change i.e. ΔH is positive which means it is greater than zero then it can be called as an Endothermic Reaction.
Whereas, the system under study is absorbing heat that is produced during the reaction. So if ΔH is found to be positive then it can be called as endothermic reaction.
