Chemistry raised to the power of AWESOME! That's what Hank is talking about today with Electrochemistry. Contained within, Hank discusses electrochemical reactions, half reactions, how batteries work, galvanic cells,...

Biochemical Cell Potentials: Example 1

We know that redox reactions are ones that involve electron transfer. Something is oxidized, and something else is reduced. But these reactions can be tricky to balance when surrounding water molecules are involved in the reaction. Let's...

In this video, we will learn how to write half equations for simple redox reactions. A half-equation shows what happens at one of the electrodes during electrolysis, so we need to be able to complete and balance half-equations for these...

We've learned about electrochemistry and electrochemical cells, especially galvanic or voltaic cells. And we learned about standard reduction potentials associated with a variety of substances. Given some data, can you calculate the cell...

Nernst Equation: Theory and Derivation

How does a battery work? Now that you think about it, you have no idea, do you? Well take a gander! Turns out it's just redox chemistry.
