9.2.a half-reactions

Because redox reactions have potentials associated with them, there is potential for the reaction to do work. To do useful work, electron transfer must be channeled through a resistor (so charged species can’t freely flow to another) using a galvanic/voltaic cell.

9.2.b reduction potentials, cell potential

9.2.c direction of electron flow
