Which energy conversion must occur in an operating electrolytic cell?

1. Electrical energy to chemical energy
2. Electrical energy to nuclear energy
3. Chemical energy to electrical energy
4. Chemical energy to nuclear energy

Asked by Belfield682

Answer (3)

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 1. The energy conversion that must occur in an electrolytic cell is the conversion from electrical energy to chemical energy. The reaction must be forced by applying an external electric current thus needing a supply of electric current.
