Episode 10 — Electrochemical Reactions

Galvanic Cells 2

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the standard reduction potentials in the table of standard electrode potential and explain why they are recorded at the same conditions. • Calculate the voltage measured at standard conditions using the formula E0 cell = E cathode - E anode. • Describe the electron flow in a galvanic cell, including the direction of electron movement from the anode to the cathode. • Label the positive and negative terminals of a galvanic cell based on the half reactions occurring. • Write a net ionic equation for the reaction in a galvanic cell.
