Chap 21 - Electrochemistry

AB
AnodeThe positive electrode in an electrolytic cell, toward which negatively charged particles are attracted.,
BatteryA device containing an electric cell or a series of electric cells storing energy that can be converted into electrical power (usually in the form of direct current).,
CathodeA negatively charged electrode, as of a electrolytic cell, a storage battery, or an electron tube.,
Cell potentialPotential difference, Ecell, between oxidation and reduction half-cells under nonstandard conditions.,
Dry Cell (battery)The dry cell battery is one of the most commonly used types of batteries. A, C, 9-volt, and watch batteries are dry cell batteries.,
Electrical PotentialAt a point in space is the electrical potential energy divided by charge associated with a static (time-invariant) electric field.,
Electrochemical CellThe weight of a substance (as an element) deposited or evolved during electrolysis by the passage of a specified quantity of electricity and usu.,
Electrochemical processA chemical change accompanying the passage of an electric current, especially as used in the preparation of commercially important quantities of certain chemical substances.,
ElectrodeA conductor, not necessarily metallic, through which a current enters or leaves a nonmetallic medium, as an electrolytic cell, arc generator, vacuum tube, or gaseous discharge tube.,
ElectrolysisThe passage of an electric current through an electrolyte with subsequent migration of positively and negatively charged ions to the negative and positive electrodes.,
Electrolytic cellA cell containing an electrolyte in which an applied voltage causes a reaction to occur that would not occur otherwise (such as the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen),
Fuel cellcell that produces electricity by oxidation of fuel (hydrogen and oxygen or zinc and air); often used in electric cars,
Half-cellHalf of an electrolytic or voltaic cell, where either oxidation or reduction occurs.,
Reduction potentialIs a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and thereby be reduced.,
Salt BridgeIis a laboratory device used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell (voltaic cell), a type of electrochemical cell.,
Standard cell potentialThis potential difference is created as a result of the difference between individual potentials of the two metal electrodes with respect to the electrolyte.,
Standard hydrogen electrodeRedox electrode which forms the basis of the thermodynamic scale of oxidation-reduction potentials,
Voltaic cellElectric cell that generates an electromotive force by an irreversible conversion of chemical to electrical energy,
