Chemistry - Redox Reactions - Electrolysis - Electrolysis vs Galvanic
Comparison walkthrough. Step 1: 'GALVANIC CELL: Spontaneous redox reaction PRODUCES electricity. E°cell > 0. Example: battery. Anode is negative (source of electrons). Energy: chemical → electrical.' Step 2: 'ELECTROLYTIC CELL: Non-spontaneous reaction USES electricity. External power supply forces
