ANACHEM QUIZ (MODULE 11) Flashcards
Relationship between chemical reaction and electricity.
electrochemistry
Measurement of current or voltage generated by the activity of an ion.
electrochemistry
techniques under Electrochemistry Analyses
Redox titration/titrimetry
Potentiometry
Amperometry
Polarography
Electrogravimetry
Voltammetry
Pair of electrodes in contact with an electrolyte solution.
electrochemical cell
one direction of flow of e-
direct current
Spontaneously produces current (or
energy) when the electrodes are
connected externally by a conducting
wire.
galvanic
tore electrical energy
galvanic
Current is forced by a battery or some
other external source of energy for
operation.
electrolytic cells
Consume electricity
electrolytic cells
Batteries are usually made from several
such cells connected in series to produce higher voltages than a single cell can produce.
galvanic
Oxidation or reduction reaction occurring at an electrode.
half cell reactions
The electrode at which oxidation occurs
anode
the electrode at which reduction occurs.
cathode
One in which the half-cell reactions are reversed by reversing the current flow; such a cell is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium.
reversible cell
this consists of a platinum electrode coated with platinum black to catalyze the electrode reaction and over the surface of which hydrogen at 760 mm of mercury is passed.
standard hydrogen electrode
he potential of an electrode measured relative to a standard, usually the SHE.
electrode potential e
It is a measure of the driving force of the electrode reaction and is temperature and activity dependent.
electrode potential e
electrode potential measured in solutions where all reactants and products are at unit activity.
standard electrode potential
termed as “Redox Potential” which is one way of measuring how easily a substance loses e-
