Module Pretest

Determine whether the following statements are correct by writing T and F if otherwise.

1. Electrochemical reactions are involved between the interconversion of electrical energy

and chemical energy.
2. The oxygen atom in H2O2 has a charge of – 2 while – 1 in H2O.
3. An electrochemical cell is an apparatus that uses or generates electricity.
4. The voltage and the redox reactions are not related directly.
5. Under standard state conditions, the electric potential for the reduction of H+ is equal to
0 V.
6. The more negative the value of Eohalf-cell the stronger the oxidizing agent and the more
positive the stronger the reducing agent.
7. Batteries are galvanic cells or a series and used as a direct source of electrical
electricity.
8. A positive Eo means favors more of the reactant to form rather than the products and
means a nonspontaneous reaction.
9. Corrosion is the deterioration of metal caused by the occurrence of the electrochemical
process.
10. Pitting corrosion is observed when a metal in which a uniform layer of rust is formed and
extending in the whole surface of the metal.
11. Atmospheric corrosion is an example of uniform corrosion where the presence of
electrolyte from the atmosphere causes the deterioration of the metal.
12. Zinc is one of the metals that is a weaker reducing agent compared to Fe.
13. An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses electrical energy from an external
source to drive a nonspontaneous reaction.
14. The cell potential equation is used to determine the value of Ecell as well as the direction
of spontaneity for any redox reaction under any conditions.
15. Electrorefining is a process in which electrolysis is used to increase the purity of metal
extracted from the ore.
