Unit 9 - Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry
By: Sinclaire Bradley
DOWNLOAD ALL NOTES you wish to use (it's free!), as the PDF links in the drive are not clear
Topics Covered:
Spontaneity/Favorability
Amount of Energy & Energy Dispersion Prospective
Entropy
What it Depends on
Equations
Gibbs Free Energy & Favorability
Thermoequilibrium
Equations
Example
Testing Tips:
KNOW which combinations (of ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG) are spontaneous/favorable and under which circumstances!!
Topics Covered:
Electrons
Electric Potential (Voltage)
RedOx Review
Galvanic Cells
Reduction Potential
Cathode & Anode
Salt Bridge
Spontaneity of Cell
Standard Reduction Potential of the Cell
Cell Notation
Specific H2O Equations
Testing Tips:
Really study the different parts of the setup of a galvanic cell. Typically, the only calculation stuff you'll do is find the cell potential.
Topics Covered:
Electrochemistry Equations
Relating Gibbs Free Energy to Cell Potential
Nernst Equation
Electrolysis
Electrolysis vs Galvanic Cell
Calculating Charge/Mass/Current/Time
Cathode vs Anode Properties
Testing Tips:
Know differences between electrolysis and galvanic cell, as well as how to do the calculations for both.
