    Electrochemistry is the study of chemical reactions caused by electrical effects and that produce electricity. It has applications in batteries, fuel cells, electroplating, electrosynthesis of chemicals like chlorine and aluminum, corrosion prevention, and water treatment. Oxidation and reduction reactions, known as redox reactions, involve the loss or gain of electrons respectively and always occur simultaneously.

    Electrochemistry: is the study of chemical reactions that produce electrical effects, and of the chemical

    phenomena that are caused by the action of external electric effect.


    Applications:
    • Batteries
    • Fuel cells
    • Electroplating
    • Electrosynthesis (Chlorine, Caustic Soda, Aluminum, ...
    • Corrosion prevention
    • Water treatment
    • 5.1. Oxidation and Reduction (Redox reactions):

    • The most convenient definition is that oxidation involves the loss of electrons
    while reduction involves the gain of electrons. In all cases they are
    simultaneous processes.
    • The very simple reaction of Daniel cell:
    • Zn + Cu ++ Cu + Zn ++ (1)
    • Can be expressed as follow:
    • Zn  Zn ++ + 2ē oxidation (2)
    • Cu++ + 2ē  Cu reduction (3)
