Electrochemistry Quiz

Electrochemistry is the study of electrolytes in solution and the interconversion of electrical and chemical energies. It is significant in energy conversion processes as it involves the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa through processes like electrolytic cells, electrometallurgy, electroplating, galvanic cells, fuel cells, and batteries.

Galvanic cells produce electricity due to spontaneous redox reactions, convert stored chemical energy to electrical energy, have one electrode each in two compartments, and are significant in electricity production as they are used in batteries to power various electronic devices.

A salt bridge consists of an electrolyte solution and is used to maintain electrical neutrality in the two half-cells of an electrochemical cell. It allows the flow of ions to balance the charges and facilitate the completion of the circuit.

<p>Metallic conduction involves the flow of electrons, no chemical changes, and examples include metals, graphite, and alloys. Electrolytic conduction involves the flow of ions in solution or fused electrolyte, chemical reactions at electrodes, and examples include acids, bases, and salts.</p> Signup and view all the answers
