    1) Batteries operate through oxidation and reduction electrochemical reactions where chemical species exchange electrons. Oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gain of electrons. 2) In the example battery, zinc is the anode that undergoes oxidation while copper is the cathode that undergoes reduction. Electrons produced at the anode can do electrical work as they are transferred to the cathode. 3) For the reaction to continue, there must be a path for ions to move between the solutions through the wire, producing an ion current within the battery. Positively charged ions move from anode to cathode and negatively charged ions move from cathode to anode.

    APPLICATION OF REDOX REACTION IN GALVANIC CELLS (BATTERIES)

    The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions
    involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species. If a chemical species loses one or more
    electrons, this is called oxidation. The opposite process, the gain of electrons, is called reduction.

    In most batteries, there In the cell below, Zinc is used for the electrode on the electrons being

    There must be a
    path for the ions
    to move between

    in order for As the resistance is increased, the current decreases, and the voltage
    electrons to flow increases toward a limiting value. In Chemistry, we are primarily
    continuously interested in this limiting value, the maximum voltage that the

    This produces an voltage or electrochemical potential is a measure of the maximum
    "ion current" electrical work that can be obtained from the chemical reaction occurring
    within the battery within the cell, and this can be related to the Gibbs' Free Energy Change
    with cations associated with the chemical reaction.

    moving from anode and a Silver/Silver Sulfate cathode, both in a
    anode to solution of Sodium Sulfate.  The two solutions are

    concentration of the electrolyte, and is equal to
    the Standard Electrochemical Potential for this
    reaction.
