Course Outline
This Unit follows after the Thermochemistry Unit. It is scheduled to take 25 days. Electrochemistry is broken down into two parts, Part A: Redox reactions, and Part B: Electrochemical Cells. This unit includes a test before the start of the electrochemical cells section and a unit test at the end of the unit.
