Unit 9: Practical Thermochemistry

|
It. Is. Our. Last. UNIT!!! The beginning of the end has us reviewing enthalpy and then discussing entropy -- the randomness in a system. |

|
Ultimately a reaction is thermodynamically favorable if it produces energy that can do work, in other words if it has a negative Gibbs free energy. |
|
Energy, specifically electricity, is the movement of electrons. So here we discuss capturing that movement in Galvanic (voltaic) cells -- batteries. We start by reviewing the basics of reduction and oxidation and wrap up with the key parts of a galvanic cell. |
