1. There are two principal types of electrochemical cells. A galvanic cell is

an electrochemical cell that produces electricity as a result of

spontaneous reaction occurring inside it. An electrolytic cell is an

electrochemical cell in which a non-spontaneous reaction is driven by an

external source of current. any redox reaction may be expressed in terms

of two half reactions which are conceptual reactions showing the lowss
and gain of electrons. each half reaction has a difinite value of standard

electrode potential. the overall reaction is represented by a universally

accepted method. knowing the standard electrode potential of the half

reactions, the standard EMF of the cell can be calculted. the standard

EMF further helps in the calculation of free energy change, equilibrium

constant of the cell reaction as well as parameters like solublity products

of a sparingly soluble salt. a cell can also be set up in which the two

electrodes may be of the same (type, e.g., both may be hydrogen

electrodes but the concentration of H +
