A. Electrochemistry: An Introduction • Electrochemistry – the study of the interchange of chemical and electrical energy • Two types of processes • Production of an electric current from a chemical reaction • The use of electric current to produce chemical change
A. Electrochemistry: An Introduction • Making an electrochemical cell
A. Electrochemistry: An Introduction • If electrons flow through the wire charge builds up. • Solutions must be connected to permit ions to flow to balance the charge.
A. Electrochemistry: An Introduction • A salt bridge or porous disk connects the half cells and allows ions to flow, completing the circuit.
A. Electrochemistry: An Introduction • Electrochemical battery (galvanic cell) – device powered by an oxidation-reduction reaction where chemical energy is converted to electrical energy • Anode – electrode where oxidation occurs • Cathode – electrode where reduction occurs
A. Electrochemistry: An Introduction • Electrolysis – process where electrical energy is used to produce a chemical change • Nonspontaneous

Cathodic protection of an underground pipe C. Corrosion • Corrosion is the oxidation of metals to form mainly oxides and sulfides. • Some metals, such as aluminum, protect themselves with their oxide coating. • Corrosion of iron can be prevented by coatings, by alloying and cathodic protection.
D. Electrolysis • Electrolysis – a process involving forcing a current through a cell to produce a chemical change that would not otherwise occur
