Electrochemistry Flashcards
Redox
Oxidation reduction reaction
Which equation isn’t redox
Double replacement
Redox is which equations
Single guys
LEO-GER
Loss of electrons is oxidation
Gain of electrons is reduction
Overall charge of any atom
0
Law of conservation of charge for redox
In a redox reaction the number of electrons lost is equal to the number of electrons gained
Oxygen is
An oxidizing agent
Spectator ion
Doesn’t change charge
Voltaic cell
Spontaneously converts chemical energy to electrical energy
Voltaic cell aka
Battery
Voltaic cell is all about the
ELECTRODES
Two electrodes
Anode
Cathode
Anorexic ox
Oxidation
Anode
Becomes smaller
Red cat gets fat
Reduction
Cathode
Becomes larger
Which one gives up electrons
More active metal
Salt bridge transfers
Ions
Wire transfers
Electrons
Electrolytic cell
Electricity produces a chemical reaction
Electrical energy to chemical energy
Electrolytic cell is all about
The battery (and the solution)
Purpose of battery
Supplies electrons
Reverse polarity
With battery, electrons flow out of negative battery end into negative electrode
Decomposition of water
Electrolysis
