what are buffers?
solutions that resist changes in pH
to create an acidic buffer solution...
mix weak acid + soluble salt of its conjugate base
to create a basic buffer solution
mix weak base + soluble salt of its conjugate acid
oxidation
loss of electrons
reduction
gain of electrons
electrolytic process
an electrochemical process that requires the continual, external input of electrical energy to drive a nonspontaneous redox reaction
voltaic process
an electrochemical cell which generates an electrical current from a spontaneous chemical redox process
anode (+)
the electrode at which oxidation occurs
cathode (-)
the electrode at which reduction occurs
when the standard overall cell potential is positive...
the process is spontaneous
when the standard overall cell potential is negative...
the process is nonspontaneous
ammonium oxalate
