Redox Reactions and Introduction to Electrochemistry
Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:
- relate the sign of the electrode potential to the direction of spontaneous change
- combine half cells to produce balanced redox reactions and to calculate cell potentials
- identify the species which are being oxidzied and those being reduced in a redox reaction
- write down the cell notation for a Galvanic cell including ones involving inert electrodes
- use the Nernst equation to calculate the effect of concentration on the cell potential
- relate the electrode potential and the reaction quotient
- relate the standard electrode potential and the equilibrium constant
- use Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis to relate the amount of product to the electric current applied
