Electrochemistry Lesson 5 Predicting Spontaneous Reactions Balancing Half Reactions
Predicting Spontaneous Reactions Using the Standard Reduction Chart Does Au3+ react with Cl-? If it does write the spontaneous reaction.
The top reaction is written forward- reduction The bottom reaction is written in reverse- oxidation (Au3+ + 3e- Au(s)) 2 (2Cl- Cl2(g) + 2e-) 3 2Au3+ + 6Cl-3Cl2(g) + 2Au(s)
Some ionsare on both sidesof the table and are oxidizing or reducing agents. For example: Fe Fe2+ Fe3+ Sn Sn2+ Sn4+ Cu Cu+ Cu2+
Check both spontaneous (Sn2+ + 2e- Sn(s)) 3 (Cr(s) Cr3+ + 3e-) 2 2Cr (s) + 3Sn2+2Cr3+ + 3Sn(s)
Can you keep HCl in a Cu container? Explain! Yes, nonspontaneous. H+ is a weaker oxidizing agent than Cu2+ and Cu+.
Spontaneous- no H+ is a stronger oxidizing agent than Zn2+
Write the spontaneous reaction. 2H+ + 2e- H2(g) Zn(s) Zn2+ + 2e- 2H+ + Zn(s) H2(g) + Zn2+
Can you keep HNO3 in a Au container? Explain! Yes, nonspontaneous. HNO3is a weaker oxidizing agent than Au3+.
Take the strongest ox agent- higher Take the strongest red agent- lower
Can you keep HNO3 in a Cu container? No, spontaneous. HNO3 is a stronger oxidizing agent than Cu2+. Write the spontaneous reaction. NO3- + 4H+ + 3e- NO(g) + 2H2O x 2 Cu(s) Cu2+ + 2e- x 3 2NO3- + 8H+ + 3Cu(s) 2NO(g) + 4H2O + 3Cu2+
nonspontaneous- both on same side Does Au3+ react with Fe3+?
spontaneous- downhill Does Fe3+ react with Pb?
nonspontaneous- uphill Does Cl2 react with F-?
spontaneousdownhill Does S2O82- react with Pb?
nonspontaneous- uphill Does Cu2+ react with Br-?
spontaneous- downhill Does Br2 react with Sn2+?
nonspontaneous- uphill Does Pb2+ react with Fe2+?
spontaneous- downhill Can you keep HCl in a Fe or a Ag container? HCl → H+ + Cl- Yes 2H+ + 2e-→ H2(g) Fe → Fe2+ + 2e- No 2H+ + Fe → H2(g) + Fe2+
Can you keep HNO3 in a Au or a Ag container? Yes NO3- + 4H+ + 3e-→ NO(g) + 2H2O Ag → Ag+ + e- x 3 No NO3- + 4H+ + 3Ag → NO(g) + 2H2O + 3Ag+
Core Concepts What is reduced and oxidized? What gains or loses electrons? What are the oxidizing and reducing agents? +3+5+5 +3 2H+ + As2O3 + 2NO3- + 2H2O 2H3AsO4 + N2O3 oxidized reduced loses e's gains e's red agent ox agent
Core Concepts Is the following a redox reaction? 1 6 -2 1 -2 1 1 6 -2 1 -2 H2SO4 + 2KOH K2SO4 + 2H2O Not Redox- no change in Oxidation number
PdCl2 reacts with Mn but not Br-. Rank the oxidizing agentsin decreasing strength. Br2 Br- Pd2+ Pd Rank the reducing agentsin decreasing strength. Mn2+ Mn Mn Pd Br- Br2 Pd2+ Mn2+
