What are electrochemical series and its importance?

Answer 1

THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SERIES TELLS US WHICH METALS ARE MORE ACTIVE CHEMICALLY THAN OTHERS AND WHICH WILL REPLACE OTHERS FROM A SOLUTION, SUCH AS IS USED IN PLATING METALS. THE BIGGEST USE IS IN CREATING BATTERIES (ELECTROCHEMICAL MATERIALS) WHICH OPERATE BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCES IN CHEMICAL ACTIVITY BETWEEN TWO METALS. ZINC AND COPPER DIFFER GREATLY IN THEIR CHEMICAL ACTIVITY AND WHEN PLACED IN A SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT( FOR EXAMPLE, PLACED IN AN ACID SOLUTION (LEMON) AND CONNECTED WITH A WIRE OR METER, WILL PRODUCE ELECTRICITY WHICH IS A FLOW OF ELECTRONS. THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SERIES TELLS US WHICH METAL WILL MOST READILY LOSE ELECTRONS TO ANOTHER SUBSTANCE, THEREBY PRODUCING THE HIGHER VOLTAGE OR FLOW OF ELECTRONS.

Answer 2

The electrochemical series tells us which metals are more active chemically than others and which will replace others from a solution, such as is used in plating metals.

The biggest use is in creating batteries (electrochemical materials) which operate because of the differences in chemical activity between two metals. Zinc and copper differ greatly in their chemical activity and when placed in a suitable environment( for example, placed in an acid solution (lemon) and connected with a wire or meter, will produce electricity which is a flow of electrons.

The electrochemical series tells us which metal will most readily lose electrons to another substance, thereby producing the higher voltage or flow of electrons.

Answer 3

The application of electrolysis are as follows:

1)Electroplating

2)Extraction of metals

3)Electro-refining of metals

4)Manufacture of hydrogen, oxygen, sodium and chlorine

Answer 4

The electrochemical series is built up by arranging various redox equilibria in order of their standard electrode potentials. A series in which the metals and other substances are listed in the order of their chemical.

Answer 5

(1)current flow and emf of a cell

(2)chemical reactivity of elements

(3)occurence in nature

(4)displacement and redox reaction

(5)preferential discharge of ions in electrolysis

Answer 6

Actually, electrochemical is a such chemical reaction in which chemical reaction takes place acomppanying with electricity.......

Answer 7

when the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their standard reduction potential is called electro chemical series

Answer 8

Because Wassim Zoghaib is so strong and no one is stronger than him.

Answer 9
