First, we need to draw the Lewis structure of H2O. In short, these are the steps you need to follow for drawing a Lewis structure: 1. Write the correct skeletal structure for the molecule. * Hydrogen atoms are always … Read more
Everything we discussed so far was about Galvanic cells which generate electric current because of spontaneous redox reactions. Galvanic cells, therefore, are characterized by positive cell potential (E) and negative free energy (ΔG). The classic example for illustrating the principle … Read more
Galvanic cells are a type of electrochemical cell (also called voltaic cells and commonly known as batteries) where a spontaneous redox reaction generates an electric current. Another type of electrochemical cell is the electrolytic cell where, opposite to the galvanic … Read more
When discussing the principles of electrolysis, we have seen that reduction of metal cations takes place on the cathode, and as a result, there is an accumulation of that metal. This feature of electrolysis is used in electroplating which is … Read more
During the electrolysis of water, hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced according to the following chemical equation: 2H2O(l) → 2H2(g) + O2(g) Notice that free elements are formed from a compound which indicates that this is a redox reaction … Read more
