ElectroChem Intro

cava chem 303 s2d60 6.01 Electrochemistry Intro

QuestionAnswer
Electrochemistry is the study of the relationship between chemistry and [...] Electrochemistry is the study of the relationship between chemistry and electricity
Reduction is when the [...] of something is reduced. Reduction is when the charge of something is reduced.
Oxidation is when the charge of something is [-ed]. Oxidation is when the charge of something is increased.
The first oxidation reactions studied all involved [...]; that's how it got it's name. The first oxidation reactions studied all involved oxygen; that's how it got it's name.
The only way to reduce the charge of a molecule is to add [...] to it. The only way to reduce the charge of a molecule is to add electrons to it.
The only way to increase the charge of a molecule is to take [...] away from it. The only way to increase the charge of a molecule is to take electrons away from it.
Reduction and [...] always occur together. Reduction and oxidation always occur together.
[...] is the short-hand way of saying 'reduction and oxidation' Redox is the short-hand way of saying 'reduction and oxidation'
Redox reactions can produce [...]. Redox reactions can produce electricity.
Redox reactions involve two [...]-reactions: a reduction reaction and an oxidation reaction. Redox reactions involve two half-reactions: a reduction reaction and an oxidation reaction.
Metals with a higher '[...] level' are oxidized more readily. Metals with a higher 'activity level' are oxidized more readily.
Metals with a higher 'activity level' will spontaneously donate electrons to metals with a [-er] activity level. Metals with a higher 'activity level' will spontaneously donate electrons to metals with a lower activity level.
When you look at an activity level table, picture the electrons flowing [-hill] spontaneously. If you want to push them uphill, you have to provide a power source. When you look at an activity level table, picture the electrons flowing downhill spontaneously. If you want to push them uphill, you have to provide a power source.
An electrochemical cell is like a simple battery; it either produces [...] from chemical reactions, or it uses [...] to power a chemical reaction. An electrochemical cell is like a simple battery; it either produces electricity from chemical reactions, or it uses electricity to power a chemical reaction.
electricity is the flow of [...] from one place to another. electricity is the flow of electrons from one place to another.
One use of an electrochemical cell is to [...] common metals with more expensive metals such as gold. One use of an electrochemical cell is to plate common metals with more expensive metals such as gold.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
