Chemistry 2011

This document provides a chemistry tutorial on electrochemistry with 9 multiple choice and calculation questions. It asks students to determine oxidation numbers, identify oxidized and reduced substances in redox reactions, explain the driving force in electrochemical reactions and differentiate between electrolytic and voltaic cells. It also asks students to balance redox reactions, write equations for voltaic cell reactions, rank oxidizing agents, calculate standard reduction potentials and equilibrium constants, and calculate an electrode potential.
