Galvanic Cell
What exactly is a galvanic cell? I know the definition Dr. Lavelle gave in class, about it changing chemical energy to electrical energy (such as a battery) but is the main takeaway that it makes use of redox reactions?

Re: Galvanic Cell
A galvanic cell is simply the electrochemical cell that uses the transfer of energy in redox reactions, which supplies an electric current. It comprises of two half cells connected by a salt bridge, and the transfer of electrons is spontaneous. As a result, there will always be a positive voltage

Re: Galvanic Cell
Galvanic Cell is an electrochemical device that generates electricity through the spontaneous redox reaction taking place in the cell. Cathode receives the electrons and has reduction reaction.
