  1. Electrochemistry The electricity produced by chemical reactions or ….. The chemical changes brought about by electricity. Electrochemical reactions = Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Cell = System where chemical reactions occur Electrode = means of adding/removing electric current to/from system. Cathode = electrode at which reduction occurs. (usually -) Anode = electrode at which oxidation occurs. (usually +) Conductivity = flow of electrons many solid metals conduct electricity electrolyte solutions (acids, bases, or soluble ionic cpds) Which of the following would produce the strongest conducting solution? a) acetic acid b) AgCl c) KCl d) glucose

  2. Electrochemistry – Cell Types Electrolytic Cells – External source of electricity drives a nonspontaneous (DG > 0) reaction. Electrolysis Used to convert water into H2 and O2 gas. Used for electroplating – put a thin layer of one metal unto another metal at cathode. Galvanic/Voltaic Cells – A spontaneous (DG < 0) reaction is used to generate an electric current. e.g. batteries

  13. Reaction Spontaneity and DG DG < 0  reaction is spontaneous – proceeds as written DG = 0  reaction is at equilibrium DG > 0  reaction proceeds in the reverse direction unless enough energy provided to drive reaction forward. Reaction Spontaneity and E E > 0  reaction is spontaneous – proceeds as written with voltage output E = 0  reaction is at equilibrium – no current flow E < 0  reaction proceeds in the reverse direction unless enough current provided to drive reaction forward. (e.g. electrolysis)
