ELECTROCHEMISTRY

Oxidation : It is the process in which there is


loss of electrons

Oxidising power: The tendency of the atom to


gain electron and to remove Electron from
another atom

Reduction:It is the process in which there is


gain of electron

Reducing power: The tendency of the atom to


loose electron and to add the electron in
another atom
Cell
1] Galvnic cell – It changes chemical Energy to
Electrical Energy

2] Electrolytic Cell – It changes Electrical


Energy to Chemical Energy

Salt Bridge
It is a device which is use in galvnic cell to
connect both beakers made up of inert
electrolyte [ Agar agar ]

Electrode potential
It is basically the potential difference between
the electrode and electrolyte
Nernst Equation
Em = E⁰m – RT ln( solid)/nF[ ion ]

At Equilibrium
E⁰c = 0.0591/n logKc

MOLAR CONDUCTIVITY
It is defined as the conducting power of all the
ions produced by dissolving one mole of
electrolyte in solution

KOHLRAUSH LAW
The limiting molar Conductivity is the sum of
separate sum of contribution anion and
cation.
