Study Notes
Types of Electrochemical Cells
- An electrolytic cell is a type of electrochemical cell that converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
Components of a Daniel Cell
- The salt bridge in a Daniel cell allows ions to flow between the two half-cells, maintaining electrical neutrality.
- The salt bridge is typically composed of a gel or paper soaked in a potassium chloride or sodium chloride solution.
- The electrodes in a Daniel cell are made of zinc (anode) and copper (cathode).
Function of Components in a Daniel Cell
- The zinc rod acts as the anode, where oxidation occurs.
- The purpose of an ammeter or voltmeter in a Daniel cell is to measure the electric current or voltage produced by the cell.
- In an electrochemical cell, the salt bridge functions to maintain the electrical neutrality of the system.
- An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
- The electrolyte solution in the container with the copper rod in a Daniel cell is typically a copper(II) sulfate solution.
