    Question

    What is the potential difference between electrodes and

    electrolyte?
    A Diode Feasibility Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Standard Electrode Problems Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Electrode Problems Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Electricity potential Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The potential difference between electrodes and the electrolyte in an electrochemical cell is often referred to as the  electrode potential. This term describes the voltage developed by the difference in the tendency of electrodes to lose or gain electrons when they are in contact with an electrolyte. Each electrode (anode and cathode) has its own electrode potential, and the overall potential difference of the cell is the difference between these two potentials.
