MCQ
A half cell reaction is one which:
  • A
    Involves only half a mole of electrolyte.
  • B
    Goes only half way to completion.
  • Takes place at one electrode.
  • D
    Consumes half a unit of electricity.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Takes place at one electrode.
In an electrochemical cell, a redox reaction occurs. Oxidation occurs at one electrode and reduction occurs at another electrode. The reaction occuring at each electrode is known as half cell reaction.
