Which of the following is non spontaneous cell?

A. Electrolytic cell
B. Galvanic cell
C. Daniel cell
D. Not

¨       Electrolytic cell is a non-spontaneous cell as it requires an external source of electrical energy to drive the non-spontaneous redox reaction. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is the positive electrode, and the cathode is the negative electrode.

¨       Galvanic cells are spontaneous cells because they produce electrical energy from a spontaneous redox reaction. The reaction proceeds in the direction of the flow of electrons, from the anode to the cathode. Electrolytic cells, on the other hand, are non-spontaneous cells because electrical energy is required to drive a non-spontaneous reaction in the opposite direction. The Daniel cell is a type of galvanic cell.
