2. Voltaic or Galvanic cells-
An electrochemical cell in which a spontaneous
reaction produces electricity.
Eg. Dry cell, lead storage cell etc.
1. Electrolytic cell-
An electrochemical cell in which a non spontaneous
reaction is forced to occur by passing a direct
current from an external source into the solution.
Eg. Refining metal(purify), electroplating &

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Oxidation means the loss of electrons (it does not always involve oxygen). Reduction means the gain of electrons (gaining of negatives, that is electrons, reduces the oxidation number of an atom. 
  • #8 When something oxidise another reduce. Electron one loose one accept. Oxidation cannot occure without reduction. Same aa ulta. I nan electrochemical cell both oxidation and reduction occur.
  • #13 Resistivity (ρ) is defined as the electrical resistance when a sample is 1metre long with a cross-section of 1square metre. Resistivity is measured in ohm-metres. R = ρ l/AIf l = 1m and A = 1m2   R = ρ 1m/1m2  R = ρ Conductivity (κ) is the conductance of a material when it is 1metre long with a cross section of 1square metre. Conductivity is 
  • #14 Rbefore going to study conductivity of chemical cell first understand some key term.If l = 1m and A = 1m2   R = ρ 1m/1m2  R = ρ Conductivity (κ) is the conductance of a material when it is 1metre long with a cross section of 1square metre. Conductivity is 
  • #15 Electrical resistance of any current is directly proportional to l and A.
  • #17 SI unit of resistivity is given 2nd point.
  • #20 Conductance is inverse of resisitance.
  • #21 Conductivity is donted by k called kappa. Greek
  • #25 Denpending on there conductivity material are classified as conductore insulator semiconductor
  • #31 Apart from this conductor there is one more conductor is called zero conductor.
  • #32 Some metal alloy become super conductor at lower temperature. And some mix oxide at high temperature show super conductor.
  • #35 Let us discuss about conductance electric conductance thrugh metal.
  • #37 Metallic conductor depend upon
  • #38 Conductivity also occure in pure water.
  • #39 Pure water contain very less oh ion bcose of this pure water is very low conductivity.
  • #40 By putting ioin concductivity increase.
  • #42 To measure the ionic conductivity cell we use cell .
  • #43 To calculate the distance btween two area is very difiicult. The column of the solution seperating the two electrode then has a resistance describe by eqn givwen.
  • #44 G star show there cross section area.
  • #45 If there is no conductivity we measure by resistance of the condcutivity.
  • #47 Measurement of conductivity we can use witston bridge. Variable resistance R1. p detector show current flow. R2 is unknown resistance. O show AC power supply. When the bridge balance no flow though the detector. At this condition equation is R2=
  • #48 Measure conductivity of solution and resistance of cell. One cell constant and resistivity known then.
  • #51 We converting the unit result gets second equation.
  • #52 As solution diluted only few ions remain that’s why decrease conductivity.
  • #54 Strong electrolyte kam ion se bhi electricity conduct karega. But weak electrolyte already weak hai to wo electiricity conduct nahi karpayga.
  • #57 You can clasiffy electrode based on charges form.
  • #58 Limiting molar condivity = anion limiting molar condivity + cation liminting molar condivity z.
  • #61 Weak electrolyte mean diluted solution so conductivity low. Only measure by kohrausch law or limiting conductivity.
  • #62 For a weak electroly or disscociation const. alpha. If molar and limiting molar conductivity known then we find
  • #66 Our fully focus on this chapter is voltaic cell.
