Electrochemistry

QuestionAnswer
Cell diagram shorthand Anode/anode solution//cathode solution/cathode
reduction occurs where... cathode
If the cell voltage (E°) is postive... the reaction is spontaneous
if the cell voltage (E°) is negative... the reaction is non-spontaneous
in a galvanic cell the anode is _________; and the cathode is___________ negative, positive
the more negative the reduction potential... the stronger the product is as a reducing agent.
the more positve the reducing potential... the stronger the reactant is as an oxidiazing agent
Gibbs Free energy for a redox reaction = - nFE; n = number of moles of electrons transfered; F = Faraday constand (96500); E = cell voltage given
Galavonic/Voltaic cells... transfer of electrons uses spontaneous redox reaction to generate an electric current
Electrolytic cells... uses external voltage source to create an electric current that forces a non-spontaneous redox reaction to occur.
electrons move from... the anode to the cathode
oxidation occurs where... anode
in an electrolytic cell the anode is ________; and the cathode is ________ positive, negative
a Faraday is equal to... 96500 C

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.
