Document Summary
Electrochemistry is the study of the interconversion of chemical and electrical energy. This branch of chemistry deals with the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions, specifically the transfer of electrons between chemical species. In this study note, we will cover the following topics related to electrochemistry: introduction to electrochemistry, electrochemical cells, electrode potentials, electrolysis, faraday"s laws, nernst equation, applications of electrochemistry, introduction to electrochemistry. Electrochemistry is the study of chemical processes that involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. These processes involve redox reactions, where one species loses electrons and another species gains electrons. The transfer of electrons is responsible for the production of electrical energy. This electrical energy can be used to do work or stored in batteries. Conversely, electrical energy can be used to drive chemical reactions, as in the case of electrolysis: electrochemical cells: Electrochemical cells are devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
