Study Notes
Electrochemistry
- Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry studying the relationship between chemical and electrical energy, and their transformations.
- Electrochemical cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy, while electrolytic cells do the reverse.
- An electrochemical cell is a device that converts chemical energy from a redox reaction into electrical energy.
- Electrode potential (E) is the potential difference developed between an electrode and the electrolyte solution when a metal is dipped into its own ion solution.
- Electrode potential depends on the nature of the electrode, temperature, and the concentration of metal ions in the solution.
- Standard electrode potential (S.E.P) or (E°) is the electrode potential measured under standard conditions (25°C, 1 atm pressure, and unit concentration of ions).
