Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:

• identify the processes and species formed at the anode and cathode of Galvanic and electrolytic cells
• identify the direction of electron flow in Galvanic and electrolytic cells
• identify what can be electroysed and the role of over-potential in the electrolysis of water and in the production of NaOH and Cl₂
• use Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis to relate the amount of product to the electric current applied

• Section 12.7 (in Blackman, Bottle, Schmid, Mocerino and Wille, Chemistry, 3^rd Edition, 2015 (John Wiley) )

• Electrolytic cells (in ChemWiki)
