GRADE – 4 %

24 marks

EXPECTATIONS

F2.4 build a galvanic cell and measure its cell potential.

F2.5 analyse the processes in galvanic cells, and draw labelled diagrams of these cells to show the

oxidation or reduction reaction that occurs in each of the half-cells, the direction of electron flow, the

electrode polarity (anode and cathode), the cell potential, and the direction of ion movement.

F3.2 identify the components of a galvanic cell, and explain how each component functions in a redox

reaction

F3.3 describe galvanic cells in terms of oxidation and reduction half-cells whose voltages can be used to

determine overall cell potentia
