EC Battery background info Flashcards
1
Q
Electricity
A
electrons generated at the anode and flow toward the cathode
2
Q

A
generates electricity
3
Q

A
Lose Electrons Oxidation
5
Q
GER
A
Gain Electrons Reduction
6
Q
Oxidation
A
More Positive
7
Q
Reduction
A
more negative
8
Q
Anode
A
- The oxidized electrode (the electrode in which oxidation occurs)
- Current: Anions flow toward the anode
9
Q
Cathode
A
- The Reduced electrode(the electrode at which reduction occurs)
- Current: cations flow toward the cathode
10
Q
Salt Bridge
A
-Separates anode and cathode
-contains electrolytes(ions)
-prevents build up of excess charges at the electrodes
^charge build up will cause the redox rxn to stop
