Content of the programm:

Basic knowledge is available in the programm:

  1. ELECTRODE POTENTIAL
    1. Oxidation process - oxidation process and electric double layer formation is explained with the help of dynamic simulation of ionic motion between metal and solution, where metal is immersed.
    2. Reduction process - explained the same way as oxidation process. It compares antagonistic character of oxidation and reduction.
    3. Electrode potential - essense of chemical processes running between metal and solution, where metal is immersed is described by dynamic model of ionic motion.
    4. Standard electrode potential - explains standard conditions, standard electrode potential, describes standard hydrogen electrode.
    5. Potential of other electrodes (potential of zinc electrode, copper electrode potential) -  explains chemical process in both parts running on metal electrodes immersed into their ion solution by ionic motion simulation at metal - solution interface.
  2. BEKETOV SERIES - describes properties of metals and size of their electrode potentials. From metal standing in the series there are noble and non - noble metals.
  3. GALVANIC CELLS
    1. Galvanic Cell creation - the composition is described by individual parts of galvanic cell.
    2. Essence of galvanic cell - exchange of chemical energy to electrical is explained by chemical process simulation that run on electrodes and are described by electrochemical order of metal voltage. Oxidation, reduction, anode, cathode.

 

3 .Daniell cell - a kind of galvanic cell containing copper and zinc electrode that are immerced into their salt solution separated by diaphragm. Voltage size is displayed by standing of Zn and Cu in Beketov series. Chemical reaction describes chemical processes running on electrodes. 

 

   4. Using galvanic cells - there are many ways of using galvanic cells as direct current source in practise. There are pictures of Lanclanch cell and lead - acid battery and their characterization. It shows the differece between batteries and galvanic cells.
