Electrochemical Cells

Be able to read half-reaction tables of standard reductions and oxidations

Determine if a cell is galvanic or electrolytic

Be able to read galvanic cell shorthand

Identify half-reactions for diagrammed cells

Reduction and oxidation

Galvanic and electrolytic cell set ups and their differences

Know what happens at cathode and anode electrodes, positive and negative terminals

You are not expected to memorize standard reduction potentials and the test will always provide whatever you need in either a table or within a passage

Usually the test will write out half-reactions for you but not always

Diagrams can be very helpful at deducing reactions and proper current flow
