Michael Faraday

________ (1791- 1867): connected concepts of stoichiometry and electrochemistry.

Faradays Law

________: states that the amount of a substance produced or consumed in an electrolysis reaction is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity that flows through the circuit.

Electrolytic cell

________:** device that converts electrical energy to chemical energy.

Extraction

________**: the process by which metals are obtained from an ore.

Electrochemistry

________:** a study of the processes involved in converting chemical energy to electrical energy, vice versa Electric current: the flow of electrons in a circuitredox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one reactant to another.
