Voltaic And Electrolytic Cells
Which of the following best describes the primary difference between a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell?
A
A voltaic cell is significantly larger than an electrolytic cell.
B
An electrolytic cell uses a spontaneous chemical reaction to produce electrical energy, whereas a voltaic cell requires an input of electrical energy to drive a nonspontaneous chemical reaction.
C
A voltaic cell uses a spontaneous chemical reaction to produce electrical energy, whereas an electrolytic cell requires an input of electrical energy to drive a nonspontaneous chemical reaction.
D
A voltaic cell is significantly smaller than an electrolytic cell.
