Original text
An electrochemical cell is a device capable of either deriving electrical energy from chemical reactions, or facilitating chemical reactions through the introduction of electrical energy. A common example of an electrochemical cell is a standard 1.5-volt "battery". (Actually a single "Galvanic cell"; a battery properly consists of multiple cells, connected in either parallel or series pattern.)

Revised text
An electrochemical cell is a device capable of facilitating chemical reactions through the introduction of electrical energy. An example of an electrochemical cell could be an experiment where an anode and cathode are set up in a cell where acid and water are mixed together. Then an electrical current can be sent through the cell causing the separation, or redox reaction, of liquid water in hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Something like a 1.5 volt "battery" is considered a galvanic cell, where the redox reaction is instead spontaneous and will generate electricity rather than requiring it. (Actually a single "Galvanic cell"; a battery properly consists of multiple cells, connected in either parallel or series pattern.)

This is much clearer than the original text, good job on expanding on what was originally written and making it easier to understand. The last sentence might be a little confusing for some? Maybe adjust the wording but good work overall. Kaleb.LT (talk) 20:48, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
