A. Abattery that requires energy to charge it
B. A battery containing an acid and a base
C. A battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction
D. A battery containing a nonspontaneous reaction

Answer:

Your answer is C

Explanation:

The option that best describes a galvanic cell is that a battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction. That is option C.

A Galvanic cell is simply defined as an electrochemical cell that uses the movement of electrons in a reduction-oxidation reaction to produce electrical energy for use.

A Galvanic cell is a battery and is made up of a conducting electrolyte solution and two halve cells which include:

  • one half-cell of metal A(anode) electrode and
  • one half-cell of metal B(cathode) electrode.

In the galvanic cell a spontaneous redox reaction occurs which involves the transfer of electrons from anode to cathode with the release of energy.

Therefore, the option that best describes a galvanic cell is that it is a battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction.
