Definition Definition Study of chemical reactions that result in the production of electrical energy. Electrochemistry focuses particularly on how chemical energy is converted into electrical energy and vice-versa. This energy is used in various kinds of cells, batteries, and appliances. Most electrochemical reactions involve oxidation and reduction.
Using the Nernst equation to calculate nonstandard cell voltage
A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0 °C is powered by the following redox reaction:
MnO2 (s)+4H* (aq)+2Cr²+ (aq) → Mn²+ (aq)+2H₂O (1)+2Cr³+ (aq)

Calculating the pH of a weak base titrated with a strong acid
b
An analytical chemist is titrating 116.9 mL of a 0.7700M solution of aniline (C6H5NH2) with a 0.5300M solution of HNO3. The pK of aniline is 9.37.
Calculate the pH of the base solution after the chemist has added 184.2 mL of the HNO 3 solution to it.
Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of HNO3 solution added.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
