Chem30 – Electrochemistry

This page organizes all my Alberta Chemistry 30 electrochemistry (redox) unit video lessons. The YouTube videos marked “lesson” are complete lessons on the topic. Videos marked “extra practice” are supplemental and best viewed after learning that topic.

Introduction to electrochemistry

Lesson – Oxidation and reduction
Lesson – Oxidizing Agents (OA) and reducing agents (RA)

Building reduction tables and predicting reactions

Lesson – Building reduction tables
Lesson – Predicting redox reactions (Using data table)
Extra Practice – Predicting redox reaction and possible observations/evidence of reaction

Complex Redox reactions

(oxidation states and balancing complex full/half reactions)

Lesson – Predicting oxidation states of molecules and molecular ions
Lesson – Balancing complex redox reactions with oxidation numbers
Extra Practice – One example of complex balancing with oxidation numbers
Lesson – What reactions are disproportation, redox or not redox?
Lesson – Balancing complex half-reactions (either reductions or oxidations)

Redox Titrations

Lesson – Redox titrations

Voltaic cells (and other spontaneous applications)

Lesson – Voltaic Cells
Lesson – Standard Cell Potential
Lesson – Changing the reference and corrosion
Extra Example – Solving for the reduction potential of a scandium cell (old diploma question)

Electrolytic Cells

Lesson – Introduction to electrolytic cells
Lesson – Minimum voltage to run the cell and another electrolytic cell example
Lesson – Chloride Anomonly and electroplating (review of all general outcomes at the end of the video)

Cell Stoichiometry

Lesson – Cell stoichiometry equations and calculation examples
