What is Electrochemistry?
Electrochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry that studies the
relationship between electricity, as a measurable and quantitative
phenomenon, and identifiable chemical change, with either electricity
considered an outcome of a particular chemical change or vice versa.
These reactions involve electric charges moving between electrodes
and an electrolyte (or ionic species in a solution). Thus electrochemistry
deals with the interaction between electrical energy and chemical
change.
Volta was the inventor of the voltaic pile, the first electrical battery.
In common usage, the word "battery" has come to include a
single galvanic cell, but a battery properly consists of multiple
cells.
Nernst equation
Materials Required:-
Filter paper
Glass rod
Beakers
Weighing balance
China dish
Distilled water
Connecting wires
A key
Multimeter
Bunsen burner
Chemicals:-
ZnSO4 crystals
CuSO4 crystals
KNO3 crystals
Agar Agar powder
Zn and Cu plates
Theory
As all the theory has been discussed earlier such as
electrochemistry, galvanic cell and electrochemical cell. Let us
again summarize it.
Daniel cell is a galvanic cell/electrochemical cell that produces
electricity on the basis of a chemical change and it uses the
change in Gibbs free energy change during a redox reaction to
produce electricity.
Construction:-
Electrolytes: CuSO4 & ZnSO4 solutions
