  1. Chapter 20 Electrochemistry and Oxidation – Reduction

  2. Mg + HCl → MgCl2 + H2

  3. Mg + HCl → MgCl2 + H2 • Redox Reactions: • Reduction is the decrease of an oxidation number by the gain of electrons. • Oxidation is the increase of an oxidation number by the loss of electrons.

  4. Mg + HCl → MgCl2 + H2

  6. Mg + HCl → MgCl2 + H2 • Half-Reactions: Oxidation ½ reaction: Mg → Mg2+ + 2e- Reduction ½ reaction: 2H+ + 2e-→ H2 Electron flow

  7. Half-Cells • A half-cell represents a half-reaction from a redox reaction. • A half-cell is made by placing a piece of reactant in an electrolyte solution. • The anode is the half-cell where oxidation occurs. • The cathode is the half-cell where reduction occurs.

  11. Mg + HCl → MgCl2 + H2 This is a battery. A battery is a type of galvanic cell (voltaic cell). A galvanic cell is a device in which a chemical reaction produces electrical energy.

  39. The Effect of Concentration on Cell Potential Ecell vs. E°cell The Nernst Equation (Page 657)

  40. Concentration and Ecell • Example. Calculate the cell potential for the following: Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) Where [Cu2+] = 0.30 M and [Fe2+] = 0.10 M

  41. Concentration and Ecell (cont.) • First, need to identify the 1/2 cells Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) E°1/2 = 0.34 V Cu2+(aq) + 2e- Cu(s) E°1/2 = -0.44 V Fe2+(aq) + 2e- Fe(s) Fe(s) Fe 2+(aq) + 2e- E°1/2 = +0.44 V Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) E°cell = +0.78 V

  42. Concentration and Ecell (cont.) • Now, calculate Ecell Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) E°cell = +0.78 V Ecell = E°cell - (0.05916/n)log(Q) Ecell = 0.78 V - (0.05916 /2)log(0.33) Ecell = 0.78 V - (-0.014 V) = 0.794 V

  43. Concentration and Ecell (cont.) • If [Cu2+] = 0.30 M, what [Fe2+] is needed so that Ecell = 0.76 V? Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) E°cell = +0.78 V Ecell = E°cell - (0.05916/n)log(Q) 0.76 V = 0.78 V - (0.05916/2)log(Q) 0.02 V = (0.05916/2)log(Q) 0.676 = log(Q) 4.7 = Q

  44. Concentration and Ecell (cont.) Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) 4.7 = Q [Fe2+] = 1.4 M

  45. Comparing Q and Ecell From the last two problems: E°cell = +0.78V Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) Ecell = E°cell - (0.05916/n)log(Q)
