Electrochemistry: Crash Course Chemistry #36

We use them every day based on electrochemical reactions. Thanks for watching this episode of Crash Course Chemistry. If you've been listening, you'll have learned that electrochemical reactions are reduction reactions that we express by dividing them into half-reactions. You also learned how an alkaline battery works and what it contains inside. You learned what a galvanic cell is, how to prepare it, and how to calculate the voltages generated by the half reaction and the standard reduction voltage, as well as the standard. cell voltage based on total reaction. You also learned how electrolysis and electroplating work. This episode was written by Eddie González and edited by Blake DePastino.
