Galvanic Cell

 Device in which chemical energy

is changed to electrical energy.

 Uses a spontaneous redox

reaction to produce a current
that can be used to do work.

Reaction Occurring in the Different Parts of Cell

 Oxidation occurs at the anode.

 Reduction occurs at the cathode.
 Salt bridge or porous disk – devices that allow ions to flow
without extensive mixing of the solutions.
 Salt bridge – contains a strong electrolyte held in a Jello–
like matrix.
 Porous disk – contains tiny passages that allow hindered
flow of ions.
Reaction Occurring in the Different Parts of Cell

 A galvanic cell consists of an oxidizing agent in one

compartment that pulls electrons through a wire from a
reducing agent in the other compartment.
 The “pull”, or driving force, on the electrons is called the cell
potential (Ecell), or the electromotive force (emf) of the cell.
 Unit of electrical potential is the volt (V).
 1 joule of work per coulomb of charge transferred.
Reduction Potential, Oxidation
Potential, and Cell Potential
Reduction Potential, Oxidation Potential, and Cell
Potential
• Reduction Potential – Is a measure of the
tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and
thereby be reduced. Reduction potential is measured in
volts, or millivolts. Each species has its own reduction
potential.

• Oxidation Potential - The measure of a material to

oxidize or lose electrons is known as its 'oxidation potential.'
A difference between the oxidation potentials of two metals
or sites can lead to corrosion that will consume the metal or
site that is more anodic.
Reduction Potential, Oxidation Potential, and Cell
Potential
• Cell Potential - The cell potential of an electrochemical
cell is the potential difference occurring between the two
electrodes of the cell, and arises due to the transfer of
electrons through the external circuit of a cell that has not
reached equilibrium.
