12.2 Galvanic Cell Flashcards
1
Q
What is a galvanic cell?
A
device to measure the electric current that occurs from a redox reaction
2
Q
What is the salt bridge of the galvanic cell?
A
ion-rich junction between the anodic and cathodic chambers of a galvanic cell that prevents charge separation that would stop the cell from functioning
3
Q
What does AN OX RED CAT mean?
A
anode is always the site of oxidation and the cathode is the site of reduction
4
Q
What is a cell diagram?
A
method to identify the species present in a galvanic cell
Anode | anodic solution || cathodic solution | cathode
