Electrochemistry and Redox Processes · Semester 1
Simple Chemical Cells: Generating Electricity
Students will construct and understand how simple chemical cells (e.g., lemon battery) convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
Key Questions
- How can two different metals and an electrolyte produce electricity?
- What are the basic components of a simple chemical cell?
- Can you identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions in a simple cell?
