1. What do oxidation and reduction specifically refer to in a chemical reaction?
2. What is the numerical constant used in the simplified form of the Nernst equation at 25°C to relate cell potential to reaction quotient?
3. What is the primary role of a galvanic cell?
Oxidation — definition?
Loss of electrons during a chemical reaction.
Electrochemical cell — role?
Converts chemical energy to electrical energy or vice versa.
Galvanic vs electrolytic — difference?
Galvanic is spontaneous; electrolytic is non-spontaneous.
Oxidation — definition?
Loss of electrons during a chemical reaction.
Reduction — definition?
Gain of electrons during a chemical reaction.
Oxidizing agent — role?
Accepts electrons, causes oxidation of others.
