By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
1. Define electrochemistry and explain its importance.
2. Describe the difference between electrolytic and galvanic (voltaic) cells.
3. Write half-reactions and overall cell reactions.
4. Calculate standard electrode potentials and predict the direction of electron flow.
5. Understand practical applications of electrochemistry in everyday life.

Lesson Outline / Brief Notes:

1. Introduction to Electrochemistry (10 minutes)
Definition: Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between chemical reactions and electricity.
Key Concept: Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons.
Real-life example: Batteries, electroplating, corrosion prevention.
2. Galvanic (Voltaic) Cells (15 minutes)
Composed of two half-cells connected by a salt bridge.
Oxidation occurs at the anode, reduction at the cathode.
Example: Daniell cell
Zn(s) | Zn2+(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s)
Oxidation: Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−
Reduction: Cu2+ + 2e− → Cu
3. Electrolytic Cells (10 minutes)
Require an external power source to drive non-spontaneous reactions.
Example: Electrolysis of molten NaCl
At cathode: Na+ + e− → Na
At anode: 2Cl− → Cl2 + 2e-
4. Standard Electrode Potentials (10 minutes)
Electrode potential measures the tendency of a species to be reduced.
Example:
Zn2+/Zn: -0.76 V
Cu2+/Cu: +0.34 V
Predict electron flow: Electrons flow from Zn to Cu in a Daniell cell.
5. Applications of Electrochemistry (5 minutes)
Batteries (Li-ion, lead-acid)
Electroplating (silver plating, chromium plating)
Corrosion protection (galvanization)
Exercise (10 minutes)
1. Short Answer Questions:
a. Define electrochemistry.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

Classes
The importance is to see your weakness and your strengths Because each ability it's quite different (hablar, escuchar, escribir, leer)
I like to focus on the conversational part and listening without disregarding the writing and reading skills.
I prefer to use slides, videos and images to understand the lesson.

Feel free to contact me for your Spanish or Biology lessons!

Hi, reader! :)

I am probably one of the most enthusiastic and versatile tutors in Amsterdam!

I have been tutoring students for over 10 years at various levels, with a focus on middle and high school students. Many of my students have been preparing for exams such as IB, AP, A-level, and IGCSE.

I hold several relevant degrees, including a PhD and MSc in Financial Justice from the University of Amsterdam, as well as a BS and MS in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania (an Ivy League institution).

While my main area of expertise is math (ranging from simple arithmetic to advanced university-level calculus), I have also assisted students in preparing for high school level Chemistry and Economics exams.

What sets me apart as a UNIQUE tutor, in addition to my extensive background, is my PERSONAL approach to tutoring. I customize my teaching methods to suit each individual student. This includes the way I present material, work through problems, structure our sessions, and provide tailored feedback to help the student thrive. Additionally, I provide all of my students with my personal phone number, allowing them to contact me OUTSIDE OF SCHEDULED HOURS at NO ADDITIONAL COST if they are struggling while studying on the nights leading up to exams!

For me, tutoring is not just about covering the material; it is about tailoring the learning experience so that students can develop the necessary tools to excel in their courses and eventually become self-sufficient, no longer needing a tutor. :)
