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.
