  • An electrochemical cell can behave like an electrolytic cell when_____________.

An electrochemical cell can behave like an electrolytic cell when ____________.

(i) Ecell = 0

(ii) Ecell > Eext

(iii) Eext > Ecell

(iv) Ecell = Eext

Answers (2)

The answer is the option (iii) An electrochemical cell can behave like an electrolytic cell when there is an application of an external opposite potential on the galvanic cell and reaction is not inhibited until the opposing voltage reaches the value 1.1 V. No current flows through the cell when this happens. Reaction will function in the opposite direction on increasing the external potential any further.
