Electrochemistry

This topic describes electrochemical cells. It can be defined as a device that is capable of generating electrical energy from chemical reactions. It can also use this energy to trigger chemical reactions.

This topic shows us the features of galvanic cells. Named after Luigi Galvani, it is a type of electrochemical cell that absorbs energy from redox reactions that take place inside the cell.

This topic discusses electrode potential and standard electrode potential and its purpose in detail. We will also learn some methods of measuring these potentials with examples.

We will learn about the Nernst equation in this topic. We can use this equation in order to find the cell potential at any given moment during a reaction or in conditions that do not conform to the standard-state.

In this topic, we will learn to derive a relationship between electrode potential, Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant. It also includes examples for a better understanding of the concepts.

This topic deals with the concept of electrolytic and metallic conduction. It also explains the factors affecting it with the help of examples and illustrations.

In this topic, we will learn about conductance in electrolytic solutions. This defines the ability of these kinds of solutions to conduct electricity. We will learn about the applicability of these kinds of measurements.

In this topic, we will learn about Kohlrausch's law and its expressions. It also briefs on some results and applications of this law.

In this topic, we will learn about electrolytic cells and electrolysis. Here we will learn that an electrolytic cell drives a spontaneous redox reaction through electrical energy. Electrolysis, however, is a technique that uses direct current.

This topic teaches us about batteries and how they are composed. We will learn that almost 60 percent of the batteries are made of material combinations such as zinc, potassium and manganese.

We will learn about fuel cells in this topic. It is an electrochemical cell that has the ability to convert the chemical energy of a fuel along with an oxidizing agent into electricity. It does so with the aid of a pair of redox reactions.

This topic explains corrosion as an electrochemical process. It also discusses some ways of preventing corrosion with the help of examples.
