  8. Theoretical deduction of Nernst Equation: For a general electrochemical reaction: cC + dD = gG + hH Van’t Horff equation

  9. For cell: Pb(s)-PbO(s)|OH–(c)|HgO(s)-Hg(l) Write out the cell reaction and Nernst equation. 7.7.3. Standard electromotive forces EӨ equals E when the activity of any chemical species is unit.

  10. For: Pt(s), H2 (g, p)|HCl(m) |AgCl(s)-Ag(s) Write out the cell reaction and Nernst equation.

  12. 7.7.4. Temperature-dependence of emf's For Weston Standard Cell: E/V = 1.018646 - 4.0510-5(T/℃-20) - 9.510-7 (T/℃-20)2 + 110-8(T/℃-20)3 Temperature coefficient: (E/T)p 10-5 V·K-1. By differentiating the equation - rGm = nFE with respect to temperature, we obtain

  13. By measuring E and (E/T)p, thermodynamic quantities of the cell reaction can be determined. Because E and (E/T)p can be easily measured with high accuracy, historically, the thermodynamic data usually measured using electrochemical method other than thermal method.

  14. 7.7.5. Thermodynamic quantities of ions How to solve this deadlock? The customary convention is to take the standard free energy of formation of H+(aq) at any temperatures to be zero.

  15. K+ Na+ Cl Mg2+ Ca2+ H+ Br I By definition Standard free energies of formation of aqueous ions at 298.3 K

  16. Exercise-1 At 298 K, for cell Ag(s)-AgCl(s)|KCl(m)|Hg2Cl2(s)-Hg(l), E = 0.0455V, (E/T)p = 3.38  10-4 V·K-1. Write the cell reaction and calculate rGm, rSm, rHm, and Qre. Exercise-2 At 198 K, for cell Pt(s), H2(g, p)|KOH(aq)|HgO(s)-Hg(l) E = 0.926 V, product of water Kw=10-14. Given fGm of HgO(s) is –58.5 kJ· mol-1, calculate fGm of OH.
