Electrochemical Cell

• Notes on Electrochemical Cells
  • LEO the Lion goes GER
    • Explains that the species that Loses Electrons is Oxidized and species that Gain Electrons is Reduced
  • AND is a FAT CAT
    • Explains that in a Galvanic (also called Voltaic cell) electron Flow from the Anode To the CAThode
• Videos on Electrochemical cell
  • [Bosemann Video on Electrochemistry - Overview and Discussion on Electrochemical Cell]
  • [Crash Course Chemistry Video on Electrochemistry} **Try to make an Voltaic cell using this interactive webpage, [http://group.chem.iastate.edu/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/electroChem/volticCell.html Online Electrochemical Cell Flash Animation]
    • Will need to have a Standard Reduction Potential Table available

• [Activity Series Lab Directions]
  • Prelab: determine the half cell reactions for all the potential reactions and prove by E_cell that they do or do not occur.

• Electrochemical Cell (will use Vernier version)
