Overview
Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the relationship between chemical reactions and electricity. It explores how chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy (galvanic cells) and how electrical energy can be used to cause chemical reactions (electrolytic cells). This
Key Concepts
Devices that facilitate the interconversion between
Devices that facilitate the interconversion between chemical energy and electrical energy. They are divided into two main types: Galvanic cells (conve
A galvanic cell converts chemical energy
A galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous redox reactions. The Daniel cell consists of: Zn electrode in ZnSO
A U
A U-shaped tube filled with inert electrolyte (KCl, NH₄Cl, or KNO₃) that connects two half-cells. It maintains electrical neutrality by allowing ion m
