What happens to an anode in an electrochemical cell?
it loses mass
What are the advantages and disadvantages of oxidation reaction?
As we get old, we are gradually getting oxidized.It is advantageous in electrochemical cells.Plants age with time and they too are getting oxidized, chemically speaking.Our cells perform oxidation and reduction reaction and metabolize various molecules.
Is rusting of iron a combustion process?
No. Combustion is where something burns. Rusting is an example of oxidisation. ------------------ Yes, rusting is an example of slow combustion. And yes it is an oxidation reaction too, as Combustion is an oxidation reaction with an evolution of heat and/or light. In rudting there is: 1. Relase of energy. 2. Oxidation Hence, rusting is considered an oxidation reaction.
Which chemical reaction involves losing or gaining electrons?
Reduction. A useful mnemonic I was taught at school: OIL RIG Oxidation Is Loss of an electron, and Reduction Is Gain of an electron.
Describe the functioning of copper zinc electrochemical cell?

What is Function of electrochemical cells in oxidation?
in the cathode
Electrochemical cells always feature what type of reaction?
Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions.
What has the author Geraldine Mary Elgy written?
Geraldine Mary Elgy has written: 'A study of some electrochemical oxidation reactions'
What is corrosion of metals?
The corrosion of metals is the gradual destruction by chemical reaction with its environment. This process involves the electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen.

Why saturated solution of potassium nitrate is used in salt bridge?
Its because Potassium Nitrate is a spectator in most electrochemical cells. Spetator as in it does not react with the other species in the solution that undergo oxidation or reduction.
When was Electrochemical Society created?
Electrochemical Society was created in 1902.
What is the process called when a metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
When metal enters a chemical reaction what is it called?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
Why is electrochemistry important in industrial applications?
A battery consists of one or more electrochemical cells. Each cell contains two metal electrodes and at least one electrolyte solution (a solution containing ions that can conduct electricity). The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species. If a chemical species loses one or more electrons, this is called oxidation. The opposite process, the gain of electrons, is called reduction.
