In a galvanic cell, oxidation takes place at the:
AAnode side
BCathode side
CVoltmeter
DSalt bridge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Anode side
1. A galvanic cell splits a redox reaction into two half-cells.
2. The half-cell where oxidation happens is the anode.
3. It carries a negative potential with respect to the solution.
