Document Summary

Includes: cell potential, anodes and cathodes, nernst equation, voltaic and electrolytic cells, Corresponding textbook: chemistry; the molecular nature of matter and change. Standard electrode potential: species lower on the table will reduce species higher on the table. Nernst equation: calculates the cell potential when given the standard cell potential and initial conditions for the concentrations. Given by the following equation, where q is the initial condition concentrations, and n is the number of moles of electrons transferred: Redox reactions: occur when there is a species being reduced and another species being oxidized. Voltaic cell (galvanic cell): uses a spontaneous reaction to generate electrical energy. Electrolytic cell: uses electrical energy to drive a nonspontaneous reaction to generate electrical energy. Half-rxn occurs. e- leave ox half-cell at the anode. Half cell: consists of 1 electrode dipped into an electrolyte solution. It is used in any voltaic cell to separate half-reactions into different containers.
