2. Electrolytic Cells
Electrical energy is supplied to bring about a nonspontaneous redox reaction.
If a voltage greater than 1.10 volts is applied as illustrated to a cell under standard conditions, then the reaction
Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) -> Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq)
will be driven by removing Cu from the copper electrode and plating zinc on the zinc electrode.
Electrolytic processes are very important for the preparation of pure substances like aluminum and chlorine.

3. Ampere = coulomb / second I = Q / t
joules = coulombs x volts
Ex - How much silver is plated from AgNO3 solution by a current of 2.60 A in 1 hour?
