Chapter 8 (CIC) and Chapter 4, 20 (CTCS) • Read in CTCS Chapter 4.4 (pgs 120-123), and 20.1-2 • Problems in CTCS: 4.37, 39 and 20.3, 5, 7, 9
New Energy Sources – Why? • Run out of fossil fuels • Hydrocarbons not available for plastics or medicines • Fossil fuel wastes • CO2 generation gives greenhouse • NOx and SOx give acid rain problems • Smog gives tropospheric ozone problems • CO and other particulates • Nuclear power wastes
H2 as a Fuel • H2 + 1/2O2 H2O ΔH = -286 kJ • That’s 143 kJ per gram of H compared to • 30 kJ/g for coal • 46 kJ/g of octane (11 kcal/g) • 54 kJ/g of methane • How do we get H2? • M + 2 H+ M2+ + H2 • Very expensive for industrial scale
Most Abundant Element in the Universe • H2O H2 + 1/2O2ΔH = +286 kJ • Electrolysis – but where do we get electricity? • Fossil fuel combustion • Pollutants • 60% efficiency (at best) – 2nd law of thermodynamics • CH4(g) + 2H2O(g) 4H2(g) + CO2(g) ΔH = +165 kJ • Find better catalysts?
Storage and Combustion • 1 g of H2 occupies 12L of volume at atmospheric pressure • Condense it at -253ºC • Li(s) + 1/2 H2(g) LiH(s) • Occupies 1 teaspoon of volume • LiH(s) + H2O(l) H2(g) + LiOH(s) • Hindenburg and space shuttle Challenger
Electrochemistry (Redox) • Electricity and chemical reactions • Zn(s) + 2 H+(aq) H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) • Zinc loses 2e- while each H gains an e- • Zinc is oxidized (oxidation is a loss of e-) • Hydrogen is reduced (reduction is a gain of e-) • OIL RIG or LEO goes GER • How did oxidation/reduction terms come about? • Zn(s) + 1/2 O2(g) ZnO(s) • ZnO(s) + H2(g) H2O(l) + Zn(s)
Oxidation Numbers (States) • Based on nonsharing of electrons • Oxidation Number (O.N.) Rules • 1. O.N. of any element is zero (Li, H2, P4, S8, ...) • 2. O.N. is equal to the charge on an individual atomic ion • (Li+ = +1, Cl- = -1, Ca2+ = +2, P3- = -3, ...) • 3. O.N. of oxygen equals -2 except OF2, H2O2, and other peroxides (O22-; -1) and superoxides (O2- ; -1/2)
4. O.N. of fluorine in a compound is -1 5. O.N. of hydrogen is +1 unless it is combined with an element which has a lower electronegativity than itself (NaH, CaH2, B2H6, ...) 6. Sum of O.N. must equal charge on species. H3PO4 H = +1 P = +5 O = -2 3(+1) + 1(+5) + 4(-2) = 0 7. Charges must balance on both sides of the equation
Zn(s) + 2 H+(aq) H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) Zn = 0, H+ = +1, Zn2+ = +2, H2 = 0 Q: Determine the O.N. of each element in the following compounds: NaCl BaI2 FeBr3 MnO2 H2O2 HNO3 AlPO4 SO42-
Redox/Travel Agents • If one species is oxidized, another must be reduced (electrons have to go somewhere!) • The species that is oxidized is a reducing agent (oftentimes contains O) • The species that is reduced is an oxidizing agent Zn(s) + 2 H+(aq) H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) Q: Which is the reducing agent and which is the oxidizing agent?
Balancing Redox Equations • Not only must atoms balance, but e-’s must too • Two methods: half-reaction and O.N. method • Write skeletal eqn and separate into 2 half-rxns CH3CH2OH + Cr2O72- CH3CO2H + Cr3+ Oxdn: Redn: Balance atoms by adding H+, OH-, or H2O 3. Add electrons and equilize e- for the two reactions 4. Add half-reactions and cancel equalities 5. Verify elemental and charge balance
Balance this reaction in an acid CH3CH2OH + Cr2O72- CH3CO2H + Cr3+
In a basic solution, Br2, disproportionates to bromate (BrO3-) and bromide ions. Balance this equation.
In a basic solution, iron(III) hydroxide reacts with hypochlorite (OCl-) ion to produce FeO42- and chloride. Balance this reaction.
