Module 6

Electrochemical Cells


Introduction


Electrochemical cells include cells with spontaneous reactions (voltaic cells, also known as galvanic cells) and cells with non-spontaneous reactions (electrolytic cells). In this module, you will extend and apply your understanding of electrochemical change by applying the principles of oxidation-reduction to electrochemical cells. In addition, you will analyze scientific and technological systems that employ these same electrochemical principles.


Module 6 contains three lessons:

Lesson 1
Voltaic Cells
Lesson 2
Electrolytic Cells
Lesson 3
Quantitative Relationships in Cells
