Electrochemistry
The study of the production of electricity from energy released during
spontaneous chemical reactions and the use of of electrical energy to
bring about non-spontaneous chemical transformations
spontaneous Non-spontaneous
, Why do we study Electrochemistry?
Production of metals and chemicals by electrochemical methods
Batteries and fuel cells
Transmission of sensory signals through cells to brain
The reactions carried out electrochemically can be energy
efficient and less polluting – ecofriendly technologies
, Spontaneous reactions Non-spontaneous reactions
Electrical energy to Chemical energy
Chemical energy to Electrical energy Electrolytic cell
Electrochemical cell (Daniell cell)
Voltaic cell or Galvanic cell
