Select the true statement concerning voltaic and electrolytic cells. Select one: a. Voltaic cells involve oxidation-reduction reactions while electrolytic cells involve decomposition reactions. b. Voltaic cells require applied electrical current while electrolytic cells do not. . c. all electrochemical cells, voltaic and electrolytic, must have spontaneous reactions. d. Electrical current drives nonspontaneous reactions in electrolytic cells.

Electrical current drives nonspontaneous reactions in electrolytic cells.

Explanation:

Electrochemical cells are cells that produce electrical energy from chemical energy.

There are two types of electrochemical cells; voltaic cells and electrolytic cells.

A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell in which electrical energy is produced from spontaneous chemical process while an electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell where electrical energy is produced from nonspontaneous chemical processes. Current is needed to drive these nonspontaneous chemical processes in an electrolytic cell.
