In an electrolytic cell

In an electrolytic cell :

Consider the figure and answer the following question. (i) Cell 'A' h as E_("cell")=2V and Cell 'B' has E_("cell")=1.1V which of the two cell 'A' or 'B' will act as an electrolytic cell. Which electrode reactions will occur in this cell? (ii) If cell 'A' has E_("cell")= 0.5V and cell 'B' has E_("cell") =1.1V then what will be the reactions at anode and cathode?

An electrolytic cell is composed of Cu and Zn. A current of 9.65A is drawn from a cell for 1 hour. Then the loss in mass at anode and gain in mass at cathode, respectively could be

A: Anode is positive electrode and cathode is negative electrode in electrolytic cell. R: Anode is negative electrode and cathode is positive electrode in electrochemical cell.

Assertion In an electrolyte cell, the oxidation takes placeat anode while reduction at cathode. Reason De-electronation takes place at anode while electronation takes place at cathode.
