Chemical Change: Identify and apply knowledge of electrochemical cells
Subject outcome
Subject outcome 6.2: Identify and apply knowledge of electrochemical cells
Learning outcomes
- Define oxidation, reduction, cathode, anode, and electron transfer.
- Write oxidation and reduction half reactions.
- Describe the purpose of a sacrificial anode and corrosion of metals and write reactions down to illustrate.
- Describe an electrochemical cell and identify examples in everyday life/industry.
- Draw and label an electrochemical cell and determine cell potential and compare with cells used in everyday life (Li, Cd, Pb- cells).
