Complete Electrochemistry Handout

Electrochemistry is a concept in chemistry that can be frustratingly confusing for many students. The common mistakes include, but not limited to wrong determination of cathode and anode, incorrect use of reduction potential and incorrect calculation of the electrochemical cell potential.

The Complete Electrochemistry Handout (CEH) is specially written and designed to assist students in understanding the electrochemistry concept better while avoiding the common mistakes listed above. CEH features COLOURED DIAGRAM, REDOX DECISION TREE, succinct explanations and multiple EXERCISE QUESTIONS to enforce the concepts. CEH is also great as a revision material for students.

CEH consists of two files:

1) Blank CEH - instructor can give a copy to their students in a lesson and go through the handout with them. The questions in CEH can be given to the students as homework or in-class exercise to further enforce the concept learnt.

2) Filled CEH - instructor can use this as a reference while going through the CEH in class with their students. Instructor can also give this to the students as a solution.

CEH features the following concepts:

1) Half-cell and cathode/anode
2) Determination of electrochemical cell
3) Utilization of reduction potential
4) Voltaic vs electrolytic cells
5) REDOX Decision Tree - determination of reducing and oxidizing power
6) Nernt’s equation and its use
