Redox Reactions and Electrochemistry · Term 4
Electrochemical Cells: Galvanic Cells
Exploring the components and operation of galvanic (voltaic) cells, which generate electricity from spontaneous redox reactions.
Key Questions
- Explain the function of each component in a galvanic cell.
- Differentiate between the anode and cathode in an electrochemical cell.
- Analyze how the spontaneity of a redox reaction drives electron flow in a galvanic cell.
