Слайд 15Designing a cell
• half-equations representing reactions in each half-cell
• overall
ionic equation
• polarity of electrodes and their nature (anode and
cathode)
• oxidizing agent and reducing agent
• direction of flow of electrons through the conducting wires and of ions
through the salt bridge
• physical changes occurring at the electrodes or in their vicinity (metal
deposition, electrode dissolution, changes in pH and so on).
Слайд 18A galvanic cell consists of an oxidizing agent (in cathode
half-cell) and a reducing agent (in anode half-cell).
Electrons flows through
a wire from the anode half-cell to the cathode half-cell.
The driving force that allows electrons to flow is called the electromotive force (emf) or the cell potential (Ecell).
The unit of electrical potential is volt (V).
1 V = 1 J/C of charge transferred.
