  4. An Electrochemical Half Cell Anode Cathode

  5. An Electrochemical Cell

  6. Terminology • Electromotive force, Ecell. • The cell voltage or cell potential. • Cell diagram. • Shows the components of the cell in a symbolic way. • Anode (where oxidation occurs) on the left. • Cathode (where reduction occurs) on the right. • Boundary between phases shown by |. • Boundary between half cells (usually a salt bridge) shown by ||.

  7. Terminology Zn(s) | Zn2+(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s) Ecell = 1.103 V

  8. Terminology • Galvanic cells. • Produce electricity as a result of spontaneous reactions. • Electrolytic cells. • Non-spontaneous chemical change driven by electricity. • Couple, M|Mn+ • A pair of species related by a change in number of e-.

  9. 20-2 Standard Electrode Potentials • Cell voltages, the potential differences between electrodes, are among the most precise scientific measurements. • The potential of an individual electrode is difficult to establish. • Arbitrary zero is chosen. The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)

  10. Standard Hydrogen Electrode 2 H+(a = 1) + 2 e- H2(g, 1 bar) E° = 0 V Pt|H2(g, 1 bar)|H+(a = 1)

  11. Standard Electrode Potential, E° • E° defined by international agreement. • The tendency for a reduction process to occur at an electrode. • All ionic species present at a=1 (approximately 1 M). • All gases are at 1 bar (approximately 1 atm). • Where no metallic substance is indicated, the potential is established on an inert metallic electrode (ex. Pt).

  12. Reduction Couples Cu2+(1M) + 2 e-→ Cu(s) E°Cu2+/Cu = ? Pt|H2(g, 1 bar)|H+(a = 1) || Cu2+(1 M)|Cu(s) E°cell = 0.340 V anode cathode Standard cell potential: the potential difference of a cell formed from two standard electrodes. E°cell = E°cathode -E°anode

  13. Standard Cell Potential Pt|H2(g, 1 bar)|H+(a = 1) || Cu2+(1 M)|Cu(s) E°cell = 0.340 V E°cell = E°cathode -E°anode E°cell = E°Cu2+/Cu -E°H+/H2 0.340 V = E°Cu2+/Cu -0 V E°Cu2+/Cu = +0.340 V H2(g, 1 atm) + Cu2+(1 M) → H+(1 M) + Cu(s) E°cell = 0.340 V
