Concept Builders - Electrochemistry

Oxidation is an electrifying topic you'll learn more about in these Concept Builders. We know you'll get a charge out of them!

Activities

Oxidation States

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To identify the oxidation state of elements in various substances.

Oxidation-Reduction

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use oxidation numbers to determine the elements being oxidized and reduced in an oxidation-reduction reaction and to identify the oxidizing and reducing agents.

Galvanic Cells

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To create a galvanic cell diagram, identifying the anode and cathode, the direction of electron flow and positive and negative ion flow, and identifying the half equations occurring in each half-cell.

Reduction Potential

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To interpret a standard reduction potential table in order to make judgements about the strength and capability of oxidizing and reducing agents.

Cell Voltage

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use the Reduction Potential Table to determine the cell voltage of a galvanic cell.
