Introduction to Electrochemistry and Its Applications

Electrochemistry is fundamentally about redox reactions (reduction-oxidation reactions). In these reactions, electrons are transferred between chemical species.
* Oxidation is the loss of electrons (oxidation state increases).
* Reduction is the gain of electrons (oxidation state decreases).

These two processes always occur together. One species is oxidized, and another is reduced.

Review and Problem Solving in Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry is built on understanding redox reactions (reduction-oxidation).
* Oxidation is the loss of electrons (increase in oxidation state).
* Reduction is the gain of electrons (decrease in oxidation state).

These reactions happen at electrodes:
* Anode: Where oxidation occurs. It's the negative electrode in a voltaic cell and the positive electrode in an electrolytic cell.
* Cathode: Where reduction occurs. It's the positive electrode in a voltaic cell and the negative electrode in an electrolytic cell.
