About this app
An interactive chemistry learning app that explores how electrochemical cells generate voltage from the potential difference between two metals. Compare metal pairs, observe zinc dissolving and copper accumulating over time, and simulate water electrolysis to see hydrogen and oxygen produced in a 2:1 volume ratio. Mission-based activities guide learners through changing metals, elapsed time, current, and electrolysis duration.
Use cases
- High school students studying electrochemical cells and electrolysis
- Chemistry teachers demonstrating oxidation, reduction, and electrode changes
- Learners reviewing high school Chemistry II concepts
- Classroom activities comparing cell voltages and gas production
Features
- Select different pairs of metals and compare calculated cell voltages
- Visualize electron-flow direction, oxidation, and reduction
- Advance elapsed time to observe zinc loss and copper buildup
- Adjust current and time to simulate hydrogen and oxygen production
- Check the 2:1 hydrogen-to-oxygen volume ratio
- Complete guided missions across three chemistry topics
