Questions Bank

This bank of questions will be useful for students who are trying to increase their understanding on the Electrochemistry topic. It includes:

1. The objective questions (just like in Paper 1).
2. The structural and essay questions (just like in Paper 2).
3. The practical writing questions (just like in Paper 3).

The answers to the questions are included as well. With this, the students will be able to test their understanding on the topic independently.

The link to the bank of questions is provided here. 


Electrochemistry Encyclopedia

I would like to share about a useful encyclopedia on the important terms in the Electrochemistry chapter. The terms in it are a little advanced, so it will be beneficial for those who are interested to know more about the world of electrochemistry. The link to the encyclopedia is provided below.

Video on Electrolysis

I have uploaded a video explaining about the concept of electrolysis in various situations, such as:
1. The electrolysis of molten compounds.
2. The electrolysis of aqueous solutions - the position in the electrochemical series (factor 1).
3. The electrolysis of aqueous solutions - the concentration of the electrolyte (factor 2).
4. The electrolysis of aqueous solutions - the types of electrodes (factor 3).

Feel free to watch it here.

Introduction

This website is about the contents in the Electrochemistry topic, which is the sixth chapter in Form 4 syllabus.

Purpose: To provide a free online learning resources for everyone, especially for those Chemistry fans worldwide.


English chemist John Daniell (left) and physicist Michael Faraday (right), both credited as founders of electrochemistry today.
Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies chemical reactions which take place in a solution at the interface of an electron conductor (the electrode: a metal or asemiconductor) and an ionic conductor (the electrolyte). These reactions involve electron transfer between the electrode and the electrolyte or species in solution.
If a chemical reaction is driven by an externally applied voltage, as in electrolysis, or if a voltage is created by a chemical reaction as in a battery, it is an electrochemical reaction. In contrast, chemical reactions where electrons are transferred between molecules are called oxidation/reduction (redox) reactions. In general, electrochemistry deals with situations where oxidation and reduction reactions are separated in space or time, connected by an external electric circuit.
