1. Strong electrolytes
2. Weak electrolytes
The electrolytes that dissociate partially (ex < 1) are called weak
electrolytes, e.g., CH3COOH, H2CO3, NH4OHH2S, etc.
Electrochemical Cell and Electrolytic cell
Salt Bridge
Functions:
The two portion of the cell where the half reactions occur are
called electrodes or half cells or redox couples.
Electrode Potential
Reference Electrode
The electrode of known potential is called reference
electrode. It may be primary reference electrode like hydrogen
electrode or secondary reference electrode like calomel
electrode.
