Get basic and advanced information on conductivity, ions, fuel cells, batteries, and electrodes. Included are electrochemistry journals and software.
Learn about galvanic (voltaic) and electrolytic cells. You'll also get information about anodes and cathodes and direction of electron flow in the two electrochemical cells.
Get step-by-step instructions for balancing redox reactions for conservation of mass and charge in electrochemistry.
The Nernst equation is used to calculate the voltage of an electrochemical cell or to find the concentration of one of the components of the cell. Here is a look at the Nernst equation and an example of how to apply it to solve a problem.
Did you know that Avogadro's number isn't a mathematically derived unit. The number of particles in a mole of a material is determined experimentally. This easy method uses electrochemistry to make the determination.
Here's a handy gif to help you illustrate the working of a galvanic cell.
Use static electricity to bend a stream of flowing water. This is an easy science activity that illustrates how opposite electrical charges attract each other.
Use pennies, nails, and a few simple household ingredients to explore some of the interesting properties of metals. Clean the pennies chemically, make verdigris, and plate the nails with copper.
Copper plate a holiday decoration as a Christmas ornament or for other decorative uses.
Refer to this diagram of an electrolytic cell to help explain redox reactions and electrolysis.
If you have fruit, a couple of nails, and wire then you can generate electricity to turn on a light bulb. Learn how to make a fruit battery. It's fun, safe, and easy.
A potato can function as an electrochemical cell or battery. It's fun to use a potato to power an LED clock.
Learn how to assign oxidation numbers to keep track of the distribution of electrons during a chemical reaction.
The valences aren't just those you see in the columns of the periodic table! Check out this chart of element valences to help determine potential chemical reactions.
Learn why batteries run down more quickly in cold weather, but hold their charge longer. There are links to find out more about batteries.
