E0 is for the reaction as written • The more positive E0 the greater the tendency for the substance to be reduced • The half-cell reactions are reversible • The sign of E0 changes when the reaction is reversed • Changing the stoichiometric coefficients of a half-cell reaction does not change the value of E0
How many moles of Cu can be plated out of a solution containing Cu2+ ions if a 1.50 amp current is passed through for 300 s? RXN: Cu2+ + 2e-→ Cu(s) Notes: 1 amp = C/s F = 9.65 x 104 C/ mole e- Find: C → moles e-s → moles Cu 300 s mole e- 9.65 x 104 C 1 mole Cu 2 mole e-s 1.50 C s = moles Cu 2.33 x 10-3
Effect of Concentration on EMF A Battery going dead. ∆G = ∆Go + RT lnQ -nFE = -nFEo + RT ln Q Dividing by –nF gives Rise to the Nerst Equation.
The Nerst Equation: Q: aA + bB ↔ cC + dD n = # of e- s transferred
The Nerst Equation allows us to find voltage under nonstandard conditions Example: Determine E (voltage) for: Fe(s) + Cd2+(aq)→ Fe2+(aq) + Cd(s) When [Fe2+] = 0.10 M and [Cd2+] = 1.0 M @ 298K Half RXNs: Fe(s) → Fe2+ + 2e- Eo = +0.44 V Cd2+ + 2e-→ Cd(s) Eo = -0.40 V Eo = +0.04 V + Value means spontaneous
Now try: [Fe2+] = 1.0 M and [Cd2+] = 0.01 M @ 298K - Value means non spontaneous and will go in opposite direction
What does an E = 0 value mean? For: Fe(s) + Cd2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Cd(s) Eo = +0.04V K = 22
