Identify the term that matches each electrochemistry definition. a. The electrode where reduction occurs
b. An electrochemical cell powered by a spontaneous redox reaction
c. The electrode where oxidation occurs
d. An electrochemical cell that takes in energy to carry out a nonspontaneous redox reaction
e. A chemical equation showing either oxidation or reduction

a. Cathode

b. Galvanic cell

c. Anode

d. Electrolytic cell

e. half reaction

Explanation:

Galvanic cell or Electrochemical cell is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a spontaneous redox reaction into the electrical energy.

Electrolytic cell is a device where electrical energy is used to drive a non spontaneous chemical reaction.

In the electrochemical cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.  Thus the electrons are produced at anode and travel towards cathode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be:

Oxidation half reaction :

Reduction half reaction :

Thus the overall reaction will be:

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
