  1. Electrochemistry

  2. Electrochemistry Fundamental concepts Electron flow, nomenclature Energy in the electron flow Kinetics of the electron transfer event as influenced by a) energy b) homogeneous vs heterogeneous system

  3. Electrochemistry Energy : 1. Heat out/Heat in = enthalpy, H 2. Equilibrium Constants, K 3. Universal Entropy ~ Free energy, G

  4. Use total free energy – not just enthalpy This reaction is exothermic. How much? species Hfo(kJ/mol) 8H+(aq) 0 4H2O(liquid) -286 MnO4-(aq) -543 Mn2+(aq) -218.8 5Fe2+(aq) -47.69 5Fe3+(aq) -87.86

  5. This reaction could do a lot of work for us if we could get the energy Fe2+ MnO4-

  6. Heat water to convert energy? inefficient clumsy heat loss Water Bath Fe2+ MnO4- Water circulation steam drive pistons Make electricity

  7. Alternative Strategy: Capture electrons directly Split into 2 partial reactions Fe2+ MnO4- To do this Need to balance Redox reactions e Mn2+ Fe3+

  8. Writing the Net Ionic Reaction of an Oxidation-Reduction Reaction Split into Reactions to be balanced Write oxidation half reaction Write reduction half reaction A. Balance atoms of element reduced b. Balance Rx sides by adding e c. Balance charge by adding H+ or OH- d. Balance hydrogen by adding H2O e. Balance oxygen A. Balance atoms of element oxidized b. Balance Rx sides by adding e c. Balance charge by adding H+ or OH- d. Balance hydrogen by adding H2O e. Balance oxygen Combine and balance electrons

  9. Writing the Net Ionic Reaction of an Oxidation-Reduction Reaction Reaction to be balanced Write oxidation half reaction Write reduction half reaction A. Balance atoms of element reduced b. Balance Ox number with e c. Balance charge by adding H+ or OH- d. Balance hydrogen by adding H2O e. Balance oxygen A. Balance atoms of element oxidized b. Balance Ox number with e c. Balance charge by adding H+ or OH- d. Balance hydrogen by adding H2O e. Balance oxygen Protons are added in an acidic solution and hydroxyls are added in a basic solution. When in doubt add protons Combine and balance electrons

  10. Example: Balance the following redox equation in an acidic solution Ox #balance 2+ 3+ +7 +2 Mass balance Mass balance ox# balance +2 -1 = 4(-2) +? 8-1 = ? 7 = ?

  11. Example: Balance the following redox equation in an acidic solution 2+ 3+ +7 +2 Mass balanced Mass balanced Ox numbers +2 -1 + -5 = -6 Charge balance

  12. Example: Balance the following redox equation in an acidic solution Balance hydrogen by adding water Check oxygen balance 4O =4O =+2 Check total charge balance: (-1)+5(-1)+8(+1)=+2

  13. Example: Balance the following redox equation in an acidic solution Recombine while balancing electrons

  14. Example: Balance the following redox equation in an acidic solution Final equation does not show any electrons because electrons “do not exist” in solution

  15. OJO: Important Point The reactions 1. do not really occur by themselves 2. they are linked through the electrons 3. DEFINITION: = 1/2 reactions

  16. If all reactions are considered Half reactions where does the Electron go?

  17. Hydrated electrons not only react with water But with other species including biological, Hence it is a good way to sterilize water Hydrated electrons in aerobic biology will produce Finite fluxes of the soft radical HOO

  18. Not only have to consider rate But energy H-O bond Water 464 kJ Hydronium 301 kJ

  19. Some other practical considerations

  20. Do you think the Mn/Fe reaction will continue for long? e anion - cation + 1MnO4- 5Fe2+ Net charge =0 - - Net charge =0 - - + - - - + - - e - - Fe3+ Net charge =10(-1)+5(+3) =+5 Net charge = (+2)+2(+1) +(-1)=+3 Mn2+

  21. Will want to let spectator ions flow (but not the reactants!) (current) e Fe3+ - 5+ +1 “jelly” (salt bridge) retards motion of Fe3+/2+ MnO4- “jelly” allows motion of spectators which produces Charge balance

  22. Weird Grammar Rules: Those Italians! Volta discovered this process 1. Always make electrons flow to right 2. Electrons flow down to the cathode (cat = Greek for down). 3. Electrons flow up into the anode (an = Greek for up) Count Alessandro Volta, Italy ~1800, first battery

  23. oxidation reduction (current) e There is Resistance In the system, We will come Back to this Rsb cathode Cl- anode Rsoln Reduction electrons accepted In (down = cathode) Oxidation electrons taken Out (up = anode) An ox jumped over a red cat An An ox An ox jumped over An ox jumped over a red

  24. Vocabulary for Work when using electrons instead of heat. Ohm’s Law: Voltage = current x resistance Voltage = energy required to move charge = Joules/Coulomb Georg Simon Ohm, 1789-1854 German physicist having a good hair day

  25. a coulomb is a unit of charge F=Faraday = 96,485 coulombs of charge/mole of e Ohm Joule Coulomb Nernst neg sign accounts for negative electron V directly relates to free energy because we are not Separately the work terms into heat and changing surrounding randomness with the heat
