Q.
How can an electrochemical cell be converted into an electrolytic cell

1 Reversing the flow of ions in salt bridge.

2 Applying an external opposite potential greater than $E_{cell}^{0}$ .

3 Exchanging the electrodes at anode and cathode.

4 Applying an external opposite potential lower than $E_{cell}^{0}$ .

Ans.
(2)

When in an electrochemical cell, external voltage greater than $E_{cell}^{\circ}$ is applied, then direction of flow of charge is reversed. Now external source supplies energy to the cell and cell is now electrolytic cell.
