Electrochemistry

034 - Electrochemistry

In this video Paul Andersen explains how electrochemical reactions can separate the reduction and oxidation portions of a redox reactions to generate (or consume) electricity. The half reactions can be analyzed to determine the potential of either a galvanic (voltaic) or an electrolytic cell. The reduction takes place at the cathode and the oxidation takes place at the anode.
