Apply the principles of electrochemistry to study a real – time voltaic cell. (i) describe the redox reactions happening during the charging/ discharging process of the cell. (ii) calculate the cell potential (output of the cell). note: you are encouraged to use a voltaic cell, used in our daily life, as a system to be considered.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
