Today I started lecture discussing the relationship between the cell potential and the Gibbs free energy of a reaction, then discussed the influence concentration has on the cell potential and we derived the Nernst equation. I went over several examples of calculating the cell potential under nonstandard conditions.
On Friday we will discuss electrolysis and start talking about batteries, fuel cells, and photovoltaic cells.
Be sure to be keeping up with the electrochemistry homework sets posted on carmen, as next week's quiz will be primarily electrochemistry.
