The chapter Electrochemistry in
Class 12 Chemistry includes the following main topics:
1. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions:
This topic covers the concepts of oxidation, reduction, and redox reactions. It
also explains the calculation of oxidation number and discusses the rules for
balancing redox reactions.
2. Electrochemical Cells: This topic
explains the concept of electrochemical cells, its types, and characteristics.
It also covers the construction of a galvanic cell and its working, including
the use of a salt bridge.
3. Nernst Equation: This topic deals
with the Nernst equation which helps in predicting the cell potential under
non-standard conditions.
4. Conductance and Ionic Equilibria:
This topic covers the relationship between conductivity and molar conductivity.
It also explains the concept of ionic equilibria and the behavior of weak
electrolytes in solutions.
5. Electrolysis: This topic
discusses the process of electrolysis and the factors affecting the
electrolytic conductance, concentration of electrolyte, and the conditions
required for electrolysis.
6. Batteries: This topic deals with
various types of batteries, including dry cells, lead-acid batteries, and
nickel-cadmium batteries. It also explains the working and applications of
batteries in daily life.
7. Corrosion: This topic covers the
various types of corrosion, factors affecting corrosion, and methods to prevent
corrosion.
8. Fuel Cells: This topic explains
the working of a fuel cell, its types, and applications.
These are the main topics covered in
the chapter Electrochemistry of Class 12 Chemistry.
