This study guide covers nonspontaneous redox reactions and electrolytic cells. It reviews how electrolytic cells use an external power source to drive these reactions, contrasting them with galvanic cells. Faraday's Law is explained, with examples of how to calculate mass deposited during electrolysis. Finally, key differences between electrolytic and galvanic cells are summarized, emphasizing the importance of anode, cathode, and electron flow.
