CH 105 - Lesson 9

Electrochemical Reactions

In this lesson we will deal with electrochemical reactions. These are reactions which involve the exchange of electrons between chemicals. They are often called redox reactions or oxidation-reduction reactions. The reason for that will be covered later in this lesson.

This lesson is organized into these major parts:

Along the way we will look at the nature of electric current, electrolysis, electroplating, oxidation states, standard oxidation potentials, biological redox reactions, and corrosion.

The arrangement of topics in this on-line format is different from that used in the other format for this course. Consequently, you will find that references to examples and exercises in your workbook will not be sequential. Nevertheless, the content covered will be the same.
