Electrochemistry
The study of the interchange of chemical and electrical energy.
Sample electrochemical processes: 1) Corrosion
• 4 Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) ⇌ 2 Fe2O3(s)
2) Biological processes
• C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ⇌ 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
3) Batteries (Galvanic or Voltaic cells)
• Electrochemical cells that produce a current (flow of electrons) as a result of a redox ... more>>
