Christian study guide Flashcards
reduction
the gain of electrons making that side of the equation more negative
oxidation
the loss of electrons making that side of the equation more positve
Battery parts
- ) anode- the place where the reaction starts and electrons are lost making an oxidation reaction
- ) cathode- from the load, electrons go to here and are gained creating a reduction reaction
- ) salt bridge- separates the cathode and anode, contains electrolytes, prevents build up of excess charges at the electrodes
S C lab
Series, positives, and negatives
- one path for electrons to travel (1 Xmas bulb goes out, all go out)
- Positive- safer, less current, costs less to make, easily turned off
- negative- one goes out then they all go out, more loads lowers current extremely
S C
Parallel, Positive, and Negative
- multiple pathways for the current to travel
- positive- one bulb goes out nothing happens to others ( One goes out, that is the only one that fails, better for Xmas
- negative- more current drained from power source, could blow fuse, reduces battery life
how are current and resistance related
inversely
Electroplating lab
Electroplating def
- a process of disposing a thin layer of fine and superior metal to a cheaper metal in order to look better, reduce corrosion, or to reduce rust or wear
3 things to remember while electroplating
- ) roughen surface to improve adhesion
- ) Anode (acting as a cathode) you use to plate, must already be in electrolytic bath(replenishing)
- ) object must be the anode so it can be reduced
Electroplating lab parts
- copper sulfate electrolytic bath(reduced and replenished)
- copper sheet (connected to the cathode (acts as the anode) or positive end of battery to be oxidized
- Spoon( connected to anode(acts as cathode) or negative end to be reduced
what will eventually happen to the cathode in the electroplating lab
ultimately the cathode(copper sheet acting as the anode)(being oxidized) will run out
What is ECM
Electrochemical Machining
What is ECM used for
- better detailed parts
- reverse of electroplating
Gold Rush Lab
things needed for reaction
- sodium chloride
- vinegar
- zinc chloride solution(to coat penny in silver)
- zinc (to coat penny silver
- Hot plate (turn silver into gold)
Silver color
after in ZnCl2, it is in gamma from of brass alloy (45% Zinc content
Gold color
after heated, it is the alpha form of Brass Alloy (35% Zinc Content)
