What to Focus On

  • Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
  • Electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
  • Oxidation occurs at anode; reduction occurs at cathode.

  • Salt bridge completes the circuit.
  • Salt bridge maintains electrical neutrality.
  • Electrons flow through the outer circuit from anode to cathode.

  • Cell reaction is the sum of oxidation and reduction half reactions.
  • Electrons must cancel in the final equation.
  • The cell reaction is the source of electrical energy in a galvanic cell.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Anode is always negative and cathode is always positive in every cell.
