MODULE 2: 1-6 Flashcards
The relationship between chemical reactions and electricity
ELECTROCHEMISTRY
movement of electrons
ELECTRICITY
involve movement of electrons
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
X loses electrons
Reducing agent
A process in which one substance or molecule is reduced & another is oxidized
REDOX REACTION
Devices that use a chemical reaction to create electricity
GALVANIC CELL OR VOLTAIC CELL
Example of Galvanic/Voltaic Cell
Battery
positive electrode
anode
negative electrode
cathode
Metals that are usually solid
Neutral Metals
Metals that dissolve in water
DISSOCIATED METALS
Decrease in cell potential caused by the operation of the cell (current flow)
POLARIZATION
2 Forms of Polarization
- Concentration polarization
- Activation polarization/Hydrogen polarization/Cathodic Polarization
Decrease in cell potential, which results from changes in concentrations of the ions in the electrolytic solutions
Concentration Polarization
The rate of redox reaction (electron movement) _____ as it reaches saturation.
decreases
The layer of adsorbed atomic hydrogen is said to polarize the cell.
ACTIVATION/HYDROGEN/CATHODIC POLARIZATION
Both concentration and activation polarization ____ the net oxidation-reduction (REDOX) reaction rate.
decrease
In corrosion processes, ______ usually has the greater effect.
activation polarization
All metals (except for ___, ____, and ____)
exist naturally in combined forms as ___, non-metals, semi-metals.
gold, platinum, palladium, metal
Metals in combined form are called as ___
MINERALS
Combined forms
OCCSS
- Oxides
- Carbonates
- Chlorides
- Sulfides
- Sulfates
____ as a process is exactly the reverse of the extraction materials.
Corrosion
