10 Questions
What is electrochemistry?
The area of Chemistry dealing with the interconversion of electrical energy and chemical energy
What does a negative EΘ in the electrochemical series indicate?
The redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the H+/H2 couple
What are some examples of applications of electrochemistry?
Batteries, control of corrosion, metallurgy, and electrolysis
Why do metals tend to make good reducing/oxidizing agents?
Because they can donate or accept electrons
