Key Topics to Revise
1
Electrochemical Cells and Galvanic Cells
- Electrochemical cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous redox reactions
- A galvanic cell consists of two half-cells connected by a salt bridge and external circuit
- Anode is the negative electrode where oxidation occurs (electrons are released)
2
Nernst Equation and Concentration Effects
- Nernst equation relates cell potential to concentration of species involved
- At equilibrium, Ecell = 0 and can be used to find equilibrium constant
- Cell potential decreases as the cell reaction approaches equilibrium
3
Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions
- Electrical conductivity depends on the presence and mobility of ions in solution
- Conductance (G) is the reciprocal of resistance (R): G = 1/R
- Conductivity (κ) is the conductance of a solution of unit cross-sectional area and unit length
4
Electrolysis and Faraday's Laws
- Electrolysis uses electrical energy to drive non-spontaneous chemical reactions
- Products depend on electrode material, electrolyte concentration, and applied potential
- Faraday's first law: Amount of substance liberated is proportional to charge passed
