Electrochemistry

Learn how oxidation and reduction involve the transfer of electrons, and how to balance redox equations.

Study how voltaic (galvanic) and electrolytic cells generate or use electricity via redox reactions.

Understand standard electrode potentials and how cell potential changes with concentration using the Nernst equation.

Learn how the reactivity of metals determines their tendency to oxidize in redox reactions.

Titrations involving electron transfer reactions, often using permanganate or iodine.

Discover how electrical energy drives non-spontaneous reactions in electrolytic cells.

Study how the amount of substance produced or consumed in electrolysis relates to electric current and time.
