EQ: How can we make electrochemistry work for us?

FQ: How can we review oxidation reduction unit concept to take a test?
LT: I will be able to pass the end of unit test by reviewing the concepts in oxidation
reduction reaction unit

The following are important concepts to review for the end of unit test

● Definition: Oxidation, reduction

● Rules for assigning oxidation number
● How to determine the oxidation number in a compound, elements, and ions
● Oxidation reduction equations
● How to write half reaction for oxidation
● How to write half reaction for reduction
● How to balance redox equation in terms of charge, and matter
● Spontaneous reaction Table J
● Electrochemical cells
● Voltaic cell: anode, cathode, salt bridge,
● Electrolytic cell: polarity of anode and cathode
● Electrolysis
● Electroplating
● Comparison of electrolytic cell and voltaic cell
