Question

In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is from (A) cathode to anode in solution (B) cathode to anode through external supply (C) cathode to anode through internal supply (D) anode to cathode through internal supply

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In electrolytic cell electrolysis occur at the cost of electricity :
At cathode :

M^{n +} + n e ⟶ M

(electron gone in solution)
At anode :

X^{n} ⟶ X + n e^{-}

(electron supplied to anode)
Therefore, electron is moving from cathode to anode via internal circuit.

Q. In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is from

cathode to anode in solution

cathode to anode through external supply

cathode to anode through internal supply

anode to cathode through internal supply

In electrolytic cell electrolysis occur at the cost of electricity : At cathode : Mn++ne⟶M (electron gone in solution) At anode : Xn⟶X+ne− (electron supplied to anode) Therefore, electron is moving from cathode to anode via internal circuit.
