How can an electrochemical cell be converted into an electrolytic cell ?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Applying an external opposite potential greater than Ecell 0\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^0
  • B Exchanging the electrodes at anode and cathode.
  • C Applying an external opposite potential lower than E0cell \mathrm{E}^0{ }_{\text {cell }}
  • D Reversing the flow of ions in salt bridge.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

An electrochemical cell can be converted into an electrolytic cell by applying an external potential greater than Ecell ∘E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} . The entire cell reaction will be reversed. The oxidised species will be reduced and the reduced species will be oxidised.
