Electrochemistry

Slide 1 / 144

· Electrochemistry deals with relationships between reactions and electricity · In electrochemical reactions, electrons are transferred from one species to another. · Provide insight into batteries, corrosion, electroplating, spontaneity of reactions

Electrochemistry Slide 2 / 144 Electrochemical Reactions

· In electrochemical reactions, electrons are transferred between various reactant and product species in reactions. · As a result, oxidation state/number of one or more substances/species change · Oxidation number is the formal charge on the atom when it is connected to other atoms. · In order to keep track of what species loses electrons and what gains them, we assign oxidation numbers/oxidation states to individual atoms.

Take a look at this reaction between Zn metal and acid with assigned oxidation numbers. How do we know what number goes with each atom? Where do these numbers came from?

Slide 4 / 144 Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers

Elements

Elements in their elemental form have an

• xidation number of 0.

Compounds The sum of the oxidation numbers in a

neutral compound is 0.

Monoatomic ions

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion is the same as its charge.

Polyatomic ions

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is the charge on the ion.

How do we assign oxidation numbers ? Slide 5 / 144

Hydrogen -1 when bonded to a metal

+1 when bonded to a nonmetal Fluorine

Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1.

Other halogens

Usually -1. May have positive oxidation numbers in

Oxidation-loss of electrons A species is oxidized when it loses electrons. Here, zinc loses two electrons to go from neutral Zn metal to the Zn2+ ion. Zn is also a reducing agent- provides electrons (reductant) Reducing agent loses electrons.

Slide 28 / 144 Redox reactions in aqueous solutions

A large number of redox reactions occur in aqueous

solutions. Unlike acid base nutralization and precipitation reactions,most of the reaction proceed slowly. Each redox reaction is the sum of two half reactions: Consider the reaction of iodide ions and hydrogen peroxide. 2I- (aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2e- ⇒ I2 + 2OH- (aq) + 2e-

Slide 29 / 144

2I- (aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2e- ⇒ I2 + 2OH- (aq) + 2e-

Balancing Redox reactions

Half-reaction method (oxidation # method) · Assign oxidation numbers to determine what is

• xidized and what is reduced.

· Identify the oxidation and reduction process. · Write down the individual oxidation and reduction equations. · Balance these half reactions · Combine them to attain the balanced equation for the overall reaction. This method can be used in general to balance any redox reaction unless any specific condition such as acidic or basic is mentioned

Slide 31 / 144

+2 Mg + AgCl ➝ Ag + MgCl2

Oxidation: Mg --> Mg2+ + 2 e- --------(1) Reduction: Ag+ + 1 e- --> Ag ---------(2) Since all the atoms are balanced, we need to balance

• nly electrons. Multiply equation (2) x 2

Oxidation: Mg --> Mg2+ + 2 e- --------(1) Reduction: 2Ag+ + 2 e- --> 2Ag ---------(3)

Slide 32 / 144

Oxidation: Mg --> MgCl2 + 2e- Reduction: 2AgCl + 2e- --> 2Ag Adding the half-reactions (1) and (3) yields the following: Overall: Mg + 2AgCl + 2e- --> MgCl2 + 2e- + 2Ag Overall: Mg + 2AgCl + 2e- --> MgCl2 + 2e- + 2Ag and we cancel out electrons from both sides: Net equation: Mg + 2AgCl --> MgCl2 + 2Ag

Half-reaction method (oxidation # method)

Since the original equation is given with chlorine you would keep it here in the final balanced equation too.

· Water only spontaneously flows one way in a waterfall. · Likewise, electrons only spontaneously flow one way in a redox reaction—from higher to lower potential energy. · The accumulation of large number of electrons at the anode create higher potential at the anode. · Natural flow will occur to cathode where there is less potential · Higher - to - lower

Electro motive force Slide 89 / 144

· The potential difference between the anode and cathode in a cell is called the electromotive force (emf). · It is also called the cell potential and is designated Ecell.

SLIDE 31

The difference in potential energy /electon charge is measured in volts. 1 volt is the potential required to impart 1joule energy to a charge of 1coulomb 1v = 1J / 1C The potential difference between the electrodes is the driving force that pushes the electrons - so called EMF In a voltaic cell, EMF = Ecell

Electro motive force Slide 91 / 144 Electromotive Force (emf)

In a spontaneous reaction, Ecell is positive EMF depends on the cell reaction involved Standard condition: 1M, 1atm and 25°C E°cell = standard cell potential Cell potential is measured in volts (V).

1V = 1J/C Slide 92 / 144

Standard Reduction Potentials

Reduction potentials for many electrodes have been measured and tabulated. By convention, the process is viewed as a reduction and the values are reported as reduction potential

Li+ (aq) + e- ➝ Li(s) -3.05 Na+(aq) + e- ➝ Na(s) -2.71 Al3+(aq) + 3e- ➝ Al(s) -1.66 2H+(aq) + 2e- ➝ H2(g 0 Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ➝ Cu(s) + 0.34 F2(g) + 2e- ➝ 2F-(aq) + 2.87

The more negative value indicate that, reduction is unlikely at that electrode The more positive the value is, reduction is highly likely at that electrode. This parallels their activity in single replacement reaction.

Electrode potential: The tendency of an electrode to lose or gain electrons is called electrode potential ( oxidation or reduction potential)

Nernst Equation

· Remember that ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q · This means −nFE = −nFE° + RT ln Q

Slide 112 / 144 Nernst Equation

Dividing both sides by −nF, we get the Nernst equation:

• r, using base-10 logarithms,

E = E° - [8.31 x 298] x 2.303 log Q [n x 96500 ]

E = E° - lnQ RT nF Slide 113 / 144 Nernst Equation

At room temperature (298 K), Thus, the equation becomes

E = E° - logQ 0.0592 n = 0.0592 V 2.303 RT F

E = E° - [8.31 x 298] x 2.303 log Q [n x 96500 ]

· Notice that the Nernst equation implies that a cell could be created that has the same substance at both electrodes. For such a cell, E° would be 0, but Q would not. · Therefore, as long as the concentrations are different, E will not be 0.
