The reduction potential plus oxidation potential is negative.
The element with the greater reduction potential is the one that is reduced.
In an electrolytic cell, an external power source is needed to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction, while in a voltaic cell, the redox reaction is spontaneous and generates electric energy. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a voltaic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive.

spontaneous redox reaction
. The reaction will be spontaneous.
A galvanic cell consists of two half-cells connected by a salt bridge, allowing the flow of ions between them. One half-cell undergoes oxidation (loses electrons) and the other undergoes reduction (gains electrons), leading to the flow of electrons through an external circuit. This flow of electrons generates an electric current that can be used as a source of power.
A positive sum of the two half-reactions' standard potentials
The sum of the voltages of the half-reactions is positive.
The element with the greater reduction potential is the one that is reduced.
The reduction potential plus oxidation potential is negative.
The element with the greater reduction potential is the one that is reduced.
In an electrolytic cell, an external power source is needed to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction, while in a voltaic cell, the redox reaction is spontaneous and generates electric energy. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a voltaic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive.
In a fuel cell, the overall redox reaction is spontaneous, meaning it proceeds on its own without an external power source. The electrode reactions that occur at the anode and cathode are also spontaneous, as they involve the transfer of electrons from the fuel to the oxidant. This spontaneous reaction generates electrical energy that can be used to power devices.
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction involves the transfer of electrons between reactants. The substance that loses electrons is oxidized, while the substance that gains electrons is reduced. Redox reactions result in changes in oxidation states of atoms involved.
