Answer:
Match each term with the best description.
a. The electrode where oxidation occurs: Anode
b. A device that produces electricity: Galvanic cell
c. The connection between two half-cells: salt bridge
d. The electrode where reduction occurs: Cathode
e. A device that consumes electricity: Electrolytic cell
f. A device that utilizes redox reactions to either consume or produce electricity: Electrochemical cell.
Explanation:
a.The electrode where oxidation occurs is called the anode.
Oxidation is losing of electrons.
b. Galvanic cell produces electricity by using redox chemical reaction.
It is also called a voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.
c. The connection between two cells is called a salt bridge.
It will not allow the solutions to diffuse with each other.
It maintains electrical neutrality.
d. The electrode where reduction occurs: Cathode
Reduction means the gaining of electrons.
e. Electrolytic cell is the one that consumes electricity and then produces a chemical change.
f. A device that utilizes redox reactions to either consume or produce electricity: Electrochemical cell.
