  2. 19.2 Galvanic Cells anode oxidation cathode reduction spontaneous redox reaction

  3. Cell = half-cell + half – cell • Oxidation Reduction • Anode Cathode • In Galvanic cell… • Zn (s) + Cu2+(aq) Cu (s) + Zn2+(aq) • Zn is oxidized to Zn2+ ion • Zn electrode is Anode (Reducing Agent) Cu2+ is reduced to Cu  Cu electrode is Cathode (Oxidizing Agent)

  4. Zn (s) + Cu2+(aq) Cu (s) + Zn2+(aq) Galvanic Cells • The difference in electrical potential between the anode and cathode is called: • cell voltage • electromotive force (emf) • cell potential Cell Diagram [Cu2+] = 1 M & [Zn2+] = 1 M Zn (s) | Zn2+ (1 M) || Cu2+ (1 M) | Cu (s) anode cathode

  5. 2e- + 2H+ (1 M) H2 (1 atm) Zn (s) Zn2+ (1 M) + 2e- Zn (s) + 2H+ (1 M) Zn2+ + H2 (1 atm) Standard Electrode Potentials Zn (s) | Zn2+ (1 M) || H+ (1 M) | H2 (1 atm) | Pt (s) Anode (oxidation): Cathode (reduction):

  6. 2e- + 2H+ (1 M) H2 (1 atm) 19.3 Standard Reduction Potentials Standard reduction potential (E0) is the voltage associated with a reduction reaction at an electrode when all solutes are 1 M and all gases are at 1 atm. Reduction Reaction E0= 0 V Standard hydrogen electrode (SHE)

  7. E0 = 0.76 V E0 = Ecathode - Eanode E0 = EH /H - EZn /Zn cell cell cell Standard emf (E0 ) cell 0 0 0 0 2+ + 2 0.76 V = 0 - EZn /Zn 0 2+ EZn /Zn = -0.76 V 0 2+ Zn2+ (1 M) + 2e- ZnE0 = -0.76 V Standard Electrode Potentials Zn (s) | Zn2+ (1 M) || H+ (1 M) | H2 (1 atm) | Pt (s)

  8. 0 0 0 Ecell = ECu /Cu–EH /H 2+ + 2 0.34 = ECu /Cu - 0 0 2+ 0 ECu /Cu = 0.34 V 2+ E0 = Ecathode - Eanode E0 = 0.34 V cell cell 0 0 H2 (1 atm) 2H+ (1 M) + 2e- 2e- + Cu2+ (1 M) Cu (s) H2 (1 atm) + Cu2+ (1 M) Cu (s) + 2H+ (1 M) Standard Electrode Potentials Pt (s) | H2 (1 atm) | H+ (1 M) || Cu2+ (1 M) | Cu (s) Anode (oxidation): Cathode (reduction):

  9. Note: • The more positive E0 the greater the tendency for the substance to be reduced • The half-cell reactions are reversible • The sign of E0changes when the reaction is reversed • Changing the stoichiometric coefficients of a half-cell reaction does not change the value of E0

  13. 19.8 Electrolysisis the process in which electrical energy is used to cause a nonspontaneous chemical reaction to occur.

  15. Electrolysis and Mass Changes Quantitative Aspects Case (i) Na + + 1e Na 1 mol. of electron produces 1 mol of Na Atom 1 F (96500 C) Case (ii) Mg 2+ + 2e Mg 2 mol. of electron produces 1 mol of Mg Atom 2 F (2x 96500C) Case (iii) Al 3+ + 1e Al 3 mol. of electron produces 1 mol of Al Atom 3 F (3 x 96500 C)

  16. charge ( C ) = current (A) x time (s) 1 mole of electron = 96500 coulomb 1 mol. of Na atom = 22 g 1 mol. of Mg atom = 24 g 1 mol. of Al atom = 26 g
