What is the purpose of a salt bridge in an electrochemical cell?
Maintains electrical neutrality
Voltaic cells generate electricity from
spontaneous
redox reactions.
In a voltaic cell, reduction occurs at the
cathode
Arrange the steps in an electrolytic cell in the correct order.
1️⃣ Electricity is applied to the cell
2️⃣ Non-spontaneous redox reactions occur
3️⃣ Oxidation occurs at the anode
4️⃣ Reduction occurs at the cathode
Electrolytic cells require an external
power source
.
What type of energy conversion occurs in voltaic cells?
Chemical to electrical
Match the cell type with its characteristic:
Voltaic Cells ↔️ Spontaneous reactions
Electrolytic Cells ↔️ Non-spontaneous reactions
External Power Source ↔️ Required for electrolytic cells
In an electrolytic cell, the anode has a positive
polarity
Electrochemical cells use
redox reactions
to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
From which electrode do electrons flow in a voltaic cell?
Anode to cathode
Voltaic cells convert chemical energy into
electrical
energy.
Match the energy conversion with the cell type:
Chemical to Electrical ↔️ Voltaic Cells
Electrical to Chemical ↔️ Electrolytic Cells
Arrange the steps in a voltaic cell in the correct order.
1️⃣ Spontaneous redox reactions occur
2️⃣ Oxidation occurs at the anode
3️⃣ Reduction occurs at the cathode
4️⃣ Electrons flow from anode to cathode
Electrons flow from the cathode to the anode in a voltaic cell.
False
In a voltaic cell, the anode has a negative
polarity
What is the role of electrodes in electrochemical cells?
Redox reactions
Match the electrode with its function:
Anode ↔️ Oxidation
Cathode ↔️ Reduction
The salt bridge allows ions to flow between half-cells to maintain
electrical
neutrality.
What is the standard electrode potential of the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)?
0.0 V
A positive standard electrode potential indicates a stronger tendency for
reduction
What process occurs at the cathode in an electrochemical cell?
Reduction
Oxidation involves the loss of electrons at the
anode
.
What is an electrolyte in an electrochemical cell?
Conducts charge between electrodes
The salt bridge in an electrochemical cell allows ions to flow and maintains electrical
neutrality
What are electrodes in an electrochemical cell?
Metallic conductors for redox reactions
Oxidation occurs at the cathode in an electrochemical cell.
False
Reduction in an electrochemical cell occurs at the
cathode
What does the external circuit in an electrochemical cell do?
Connects electrodes for electron flow
A voltmeter in an electrochemical cell measures the voltage
produced
by the cell.
Match the component of an electrochemical cell with its function:
Anode ↔️ Oxidation occurs
Cathode ↔️ Reduction occurs
Electrolyte ↔️ Conducts ions
Salt Bridge ↔️ Maintains electrical neutrality
What is the standard electrode potential of the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)?
0.0
V
0.0 V
0.0
V
Positive standard electrode potentials indicate stronger oxidation tendencies than SHE.
False
Order the processes in an electrochemical cell based on electron movement:
1️⃣ Oxidation at the anode
2️⃣ Electron flow through external circuit
3️⃣ Reduction at the cathode

In a cell diagram, the symbol `|` represents a phase
boundary
What does the symbol `||` represent in a cell diagram?
Salt bridge
Cell diagrams show the physical arrangement of electrochemical cells.
False
Match the component in a cell diagram with its representation in an actual setup:
Electrodes ↔️ Metals immersed in solutions
Solutions ↔️ Solutions in beakers
Salt Bridge ↔️ Physical bridge connecting solutions
