Chemical reaction in electrochemical cell

Faraday (1791-1867) was bom in England, a child of a poor blacksmith. At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a bookbinder who gave him time to read and to attend lectures. In 1812 he became an assistant in Humphry Davy s laboratory at the Royal Institution. He succeeded Davy as the most famous and influential scientist in England, making an amazing number of important discoveries, including his formulation of the quantitative relationships between electrical current and the extent of chemical reaction in electrochemical cells. 

Earlier techniques are used to help students learn to balance chemical reactions in electrochemical cells. Knowledge of oxidation and reduction processes from earlier chapters helps students gain a better ability to recognize these processes in electrochemical cells.
