Voltaic Cell Lab Chemistry in the Community A
Warm Up • What are the different parts to a voltaic cell?
Answer • Anode-Where oxidation takes place • Cathode-Where reduction takes place (RED CAT*) • Salt Bridge- keeps solutions electrically neutral and allows the free flow of ions from one cell to another.
I can…… • I can demonstrate how a voltaic cell works.
Activities • Pre-lab • Lab
