electrochem Flashcards
(12 cards)
what force pushes electrons from anode to cathode
electromotive force/ cell potential
what is the purpose of the salt bridge
to keep the battery going and maintain charges
reduction site
cathode
oxidation site
Anode
how to choose which is oxidizing
whichever has lower reduction potential
is cell potential intensive or extensive
intensive, change in # electrons does not change potential
electrolytic cell
a current powers a non spontaneous reaction
difference between electrolysis and galvanic
oxidation at cathode instead of anode, reduction at anode instead of cathode
does galvanic or electrolytic have positive cell potential
galvanic
Does electrolytic or galvanic have positive Gibbs
electrolytic
Faradays constant
