Current

number of electrons that flow through the system per second

-more e- = more current

*size of cathode*

EXTENSIVE PROPERTY

Voltage

difference in potential energy btwn the reactants and products

(potential difference)

intensive property**

Cell potential

-difference in potential energy btwn the anode and cathode

-depends on ease of which oxidizing agent is reduced at cathode and reducing agent is oxidized at anode

electromotive force

-movement of e- is analogous to flow of water from one point to another

e-move from anode to cathode (high electrial potential to lower electrical potential)

elecromotive force equation

J = C x V

what is faraday constant

magnitude of charge on one mole of e-

max work equaiton

Wmax = -nFEcell = ΔG

= change in free energy
