  18. EMF and Free Energy Change Any redox reaction involves free energy change (G) which also may be used as a measure of spontaneity or work (max or min.) G° = -nE ° n = # of moles of e-s transferred  = 96500 C the charge of one mole of e-s or 96,500 J/V-mol e- Note that because n and  are both positive values, a positive value in E leads to a negative value of G.

  19. Use the standard electrode potentials to calculate the standard free energy change, G°, for the following reaction 2Br-(aq) + F2(g) Br2(l) + 2F-(aq) 2Br-(aq)Br2(l) + 2e E°ox = -1.06 F2(g) + 2e- 2F-(aq) E°red = 2.87 2Br-(aq) + F2(g) Br2(l) + 2F-(aq) E°cell = 1.81 V G = -nE G = -(2 mol e- )(96,500 J/volt-mol e-)( 1.81 V) G° = -3.49 x 105 J = -349 kJ

  20. EMF and Equilibrium Constant “Remember in Chapter 19, we related G° to the equilibrium constant, K?” G° = -RT lnK G ° = -nE ° -nE° = -RT lnK Simplify E ° = 0.0591 logK n

  21.

  24. Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+(aq) + Cu (s) E °= 1.10 V 2e- + Cu2+ (aq) Cu (s) Zn (s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e- [Zn2+] E = 1.10 ° - 0.0591 log Therefore [Cu2+] 2 If [Zn2+]=0.05M, and [Cu2+] = 0.50 M [0.05] E = 1.10 ° - 0.0591 log = 1.13V [.50] 2

  28. Dry Cell alkaline anode: Zn (s) Zn2+ (aq) + 2e- cathode:2NH4+(aq)+2MnO2(s)+ 2e-  Mn2O3(s) + 2NH3(aq) + H2O (l)

  30. Electrolytic Cells: Electrolysis voltage source acts like an electron pump Notice  (- red) (+ ox.) Eº = (-) These electrodes are inert Electrolysis is driven by an outside energy source

  31. Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions Sodium cannot be prepared by electrolysis of aqueous solutions of NaCl, because water is more easily reduced than Na+: Possible Cathode reactions (Note: Not in table on AP exam) 2H2O + 2e-  H2 + 2OH- E°red = -0.83 Na+ + e-  Na(s) E°red = -2.71 The possible Anode reactions are: 2Cl-  Cl2 E°ox = -1.36 2H2O  4H+ + O2 + 4e- E°ox = -1.23 Therefore 2Cl-(aq) Cl2(g) E°ox = -1.36 2H2O + 2e-  H2 + 2OH- E°red = -0.83 E°cell> -2.19

  32. Electrolysis of With Active Electrodes Possibilities Ni(s) Ni2+(aq) + 2e- E°ox = 0.28 2H2O  4H+ + O2 + 4e- E°ox = -1.23 Ni(s) Ni2+(aq) + 2e- anode: Ni2+(aq) + 2e- Ni(s) cathode: Electroplating creates a silver lining

  36. Corrosion reactions are redox reactions in which a metal is attacked by some substance in its environment and converted to an unwanted compound. All metals except gold and platinum are thermodynamically capable of undergoing oxidation in air at room temperature

  37. The rusting of iron is known to require oxygen; iron does not rust in water unless O2 is present. E°red = 1.23 V E°red = 0.44 V Note that as the pH increases, the reduction of O2 becomes less favorable

  38. The corrosion of Iron:Protecting the surface with tin Tin has lower E°oxso less likely to oxidize until the surface is broken then it accelerates as it makes a voltaic cell with iron. Fe(s)  Fe2+ + 2e- E°ox= 0.44 V Sn(s)  Sn2+ + 2e- E°ox= 0.14 V
