Electrochemical Cells, GalvanicCells and Nernst Equation |
|
Answer» 1. A device employed to convert the chemical energy of a reaction into electrical energy is called an electrochemical. 2. Among other cells, a galvanic cell is a type of electrochemical cell. It is used to supply electric current by making the transfer of electrons through a redox reaction. A galvanic cell is an exemplary idea of how energy can be harnessed using simple reactions between a few given elements. 3. Nernst Equation Electrochemistry deals with cell potential as well as energy of chemical reactions. The energy of a chemical system drives the charges to move, and the driving force give rise to the cell potential of a system called galvanic cell. The energy aspect is also related to the chemical equilibrium. |
