Thank you everyone. I got an idea now. Best regards :smile:

What happens when you connect two silver wires immersed in 0.1M HCl to the poles of a 1.5 V battery and passing current for some time? What are the possible reactions that can occur at the anode and cathode? Which reactions will be more favorable? Can silver chloride form at either electrode...

OK so the terms "anode" and "cathode" are used to describe the function of the electrode. What they are saying on wikipedia means that the function of the electrode changes when the type of cell is changed. Right? Last question: which is the anode and the cathode in a dry-cell battery? (Do...

Thank you Borek So the electrodes are charged (slightly), but I still don't get which is negative and which is postitive :shy: I would suppose that the anode is positive (because it looses electrons and attracts anions) and the cathode is negative (because it gains electrons and attracts...

anode vs cathode? Hello everyone :) I am having a problem understanding the difference between the anode and cathode in electrochemistry. What I know so far is that the anode is the electrode at which oxidation takes place (and hence donates electrons) and the cathode is the electrode at...
