Question

Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative" electrode. Negative ions flow toward the cathode. Metal is plated out here. It is considered the "positive" electrode.

Answer 1

Answer:

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.
