Galvanic processes are spontaneous (AG 0) when the reaction proceeds as written. Batteries and corrosion are examples of galvanic cells. Processes in electrolytic cells are not spontaneous and an external voltage must be applied to make the reaction proceed in [Pg.89]

Type of cell positive electrode negative electrode [Pg.90]

Galvanic cell (produces electricity from chemicals) Reduction (cathode) Oxidation (anode) [Pg.90]

Unlike the case of electrolytic cells, rev for battery systems is expressed as [Pg.90]
