Unit 9: Redox & Electrochemistry

Unit Objectives: At the end of this Electrochemistry unit,

1. I can assign oxidation numbers, identify the reducing and oxidizing agents, as well as the substances being oxidized and reduced in redox reactions. (CK12 Sections 22.6, 22.4)

2. I can write half reactions. (CK12 Section 22.8)

3. I can predict if a redox reaction will happen spontaneously or not based upon the activity series and/or standard reduction potential values. (CK12 Sections 22.1, 22.2, 22.3)

4. I can compare and contrast voltaic and electrolytic cells in terms of their laboratory set up and spontaneity. (CK12 Sections 23.3, 23.4, 23.8)

5. I can calculate the cell potential of voltaic cells. (CK12 Sections 23.5, 23.6, 23.7)

6. I can predict the products at the anode and cathodes of electrolytic cells. (CK12 Sections 23.9, 23.10, 23.11)
