  1. The Electrolytic Cell

  2. The Electrolytic Cell • In the electrolytic cell, a nonspontaneous redox reactionis forced to occur by the use of a source of electricity. • In the electrolytic cell, electrons are FORCED to flow from the positive electrode to the negative electrode! • In the electrolytic cell, the cathode has a negative charge and the anode has a positive charge!

  3. The Electrolytic Cell • Electrolytic cells are used to purify highly reactive elements from their compounds! • Na0 (sodium) never exists pure in nature! • Pure sodium can be extracted from NaCl by using an electrolytic cell.
