Chapter 5 Galvanic cells as source of energy

Question 1

galvanic cells

Answer 1

An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy to electrical energy by separating the to half reactions and using the electrons as they are transferred
- aka galvanic cell or voltaic cell

Question 2

electrochemical cell

Answer 2

• product of rr
• permits two ‘halves’ of the redox reaction to occur in separate compartments and electrons are transferred through a wire circuit to where they are being accepted
• the flow of electrons is transformed into electrical energy

Question 3

battery

Answer 3

a number of cells in series is
