Redox Reactions: Electrochemistry Fundamentals

This lecture covers the fundamentals of redox reactions in electrochemistry, including oxidation, reduction, standard electrode potentials, electrolysis, and the application of Faraday's law. It explains the concept of oxidation numbers, the calculation of standard cell potentials, and the prediction of spontaneous reactions. The lecture also discusses the principles of electrochemical cells, the role of electrodes, and the relationship between standard electrode potentials and equilibrium constants.
