Study Notes
Electrochemistry
- Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between chemical reactions and electricity.
Conduction Mechanisms
- Electrolytic conduction is the process by which an electric current flows through an electrolyte, a substance that dissociates into ions.
- Mechanism of electrolytic conduction: ions in the electrolyte move towards the oppositely charged electrode, facilitating the flow of electric current.
Types of Conductors
- Metallic conductors: allow electric current to flow through the movement of electrons, not ions.
- Electrolytic conductors: substances that dissociate into ions, allowing electric current to flow through the movement of ions.
Electrolytic Conduction
- When an electric current is applied to an electrolyte, ions move towards the oppositely charged electrode.
- At the anode (positive electrode), negatively charged ions (anions) such as Cl─ move away from the anode, allowing the electric current to flow.
