Define a galvanic cell.
Think of a battery.
What reaction occurs in an electrolytic cell?
Consider electroplating.
What type of electrochemical cell converts chemical energy to electrical energy?
Think of batteries.
True or False: Electrolytic cells convert electrical energy into chemical energy.
Consider electroplating.
A galvanic cell is set up using a zinc electrode and a copper electrode. If the standard reduction potential for Zn²⁺/Zn is -0.76 V and for Cu²⁺/Cu is 0.34 V, calculate the cell's EMF and determine if the reaction is spontaneous.
Remember that a positive EMF indicates spontaneity!
Design an electrolytic cell for the electrolysis of water and explain the reactions occurring at both electrodes.
Consider where oxidation and reduction happen!
