KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Electrochemistry involves the way in which certain chemical reactions (redox reactions) are used to generate electricity.

• Galvanic or voltaic cells will generate electricity, while electrolytic cells will require electricity in order to drive the reaction.
• Faraday’s law relates to the amount of substance produced at an electrode being directly related to the charge released by the other electrode.
• The electric potential of a cell is related to the difference in the reduction potentials of the different metals involved in the cell.
