Electrochemistrythe study of the production of electricity during
chemical rxns and the changes produced by electrical current.
Electrochemical reactions are oxidation-reduction reactions.
Oilrig: oxidation loss of electrons, reduction gaining of electrons
1. Oxidation = loss of electronsa. the substance oxidized is the reducing agent
2. Reduction = gain of electronsa. the substance reduced is the oxidizing agent

Electrical Conduction Metals conduct electric currents well.

Positively charged ions, cations, move toward the negative electrode.
Negatively charged ions, anions, move toward the positive electrode.

There are two kinds electrochemical cells.
Electrolytic cells - nonspontaneous chemical reactions
Voltaic or galvanic cells - spontaneous chemical reactions
The two parts of the reaction are physically separated.
–oxidation occurs at one cell–reduction occurs in the other cell
![Page 5: Chapter 21. the study of the production of electricity during chemical rxns and the changes produced by electrical current. Electrochemical reactions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4a5503460f94b3d95a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Conventions for electrodes:
Cathode - electrode at which reduction occurs (red cat)
Anode - electrode at which oxidation occurs (an ox)
Inert electrodes do not react with the liquids or products of the electrochemical reaction. Graphite and Platinum are common inert electrodes.

Electrolytic CellsUse electrical energy to force
nonspontaneous (non thermodynamically favored) chemical reactions to occur.
Process called electrolysis. Used in:–plating of jewelry and auto parts–electrolysis of chemical compounds
Electrolytic cells consist of a:–container for reaction mixture–electrodes immersed in the reaction mixture–source of direct current
![Page 7: Chapter 21. the study of the production of electricity during chemical rxns and the changes produced by electrical current. Electrochemical reactions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4a5503460f94b3d95a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In all electrolytic cells, electrons are forced to flow from the positive electrode (anode) to the negative electrode (cathode).
In all electrolytic cells the most easily reduced species is reduced and the most easily oxidized species is oxidized.
![Page 8: Chapter 21. the study of the production of electricity during chemical rxns and the changes produced by electrical current. Electrochemical reactions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4a5503460f94b3d95a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis
The amount of substance undergoing chemical reaction at each electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the amount of electricity that passes through the electrolytic cell. During electrolysis, one faraday of electricity (96,487 coulombs) reduces and oxidizes, respectively, one equivalent of the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.
Corresponds to the passage of one mole of electrons through the electrolytic cell.
![Page 9: Chapter 21. the study of the production of electricity during chemical rxns and the changes produced by electrical current. Electrochemical reactions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4a5503460f94b3d95a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FaradayAmount of electricity that reduces one
equivalent of a species at the cathode and oxidizes one equivalent of a species at the anode.
1 faraday of electricity = 6.022x1023 e-
1 faraday = 6.022x1023 e- = 96487 coulombs
1 eq. of oxidizing agent= gain of 6.022x1023 e-
1 eq. of reducing agent = loss of 6.022x1023 e-

Voltaic or Galvanic Cells •Electrochemical cells in which a spontaneous
chemical reaction produces electrical energy.
•In all voltaic cells, electrons flow spontaneously from the negative electrode (anode) to the positive electrode (cathode).
•Cell halves are physically separated so that electrons (from redox reaction) are forced to travel through wires and creating a potential difference Examples: Car & flashlight batteries

The Electromotive (Activity) Series of the Elements
Electrodes that force the SHE to act as an anode are assigned positive standard reduction potentials.
Electrodes that force the SHE to act as the cathode are assigned negative standard reduction potentials.
Standard electrode (reduction) potentials tell us the tendencies of half-reactions to occur as written.
![Page 24: Chapter 21. the study of the production of electricity during chemical rxns and the changes produced by electrical current. Electrochemical reactions](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4a5503460f94b3d95a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Uses of the Electromotive Series
Standard electrode (reduction) potentials tell us the tendencies of half-reactions to occur as written.
For example, the half-reaction for the standard potassium electrode is:
The large negative value tells us that this reaction will occur only under extreme conditions.

Uses of the Electromotive Series
Compare the potassium half-reaction to fluorine’s half-reaction:
The large positive value denotes that this reaction occurs readily as written.
Positive E0 values tell us that the reaction tends to occur to the right larger the value, greater tendency to occur
to the right Opposite for negative values

Uses of the Electromotive Series
1. Choose the appropriate half-reactions from a table of standard reduction potentials.
2. Write the equation for the half-reaction with the more positive E0 value first, along with its E0 value.
3. Write the eqn for the other half-reaction as an oxidation with its oxidation potential, reverse the tabulated reduction half-reaction and change the sign of the tabulated E0.
4. Balance the electron transfer.
5. Add the reduction and oxidation half-reactions and their potentials. This produces the equation for the reaction for which E0cell is positive, which indicates that the forward reaction is spontaneous.

Uses of the Electromotive Series
Use standard electrode potentials to predict whether an electrochemical reaction at standard state conditions will occur spontaneously.
Ex. 3) Will silver ions, Ag+, oxidize metallic zinc to Zn2+ ions, or will Zn2+ ions oxidize metallic Ag to Ag+ ions? What is the overall value for Eo ?
E0 values are not multiplied by any stoichiometric relationships in this procedure.

and cell potentials for concentrations other than standard –state values. (pg 877)

Corrosion = Oxidation of a metal
The oxidation of most metals by oxygen is spontaneous. Many metals develop a thin coating of metal oxide on the outside that prevents further oxidation
The presence of a salt accelerates the corrosion process by increasing the ease with which electrons are conducted from anodic to cathodic regions

Primary Voltaic Cells
As a voltaic cell discharges, its chemicals are consumed.
Once chemicals are consumed, further chemical action is impossible.
Electrodes and electrolytes cannot be regenerated by reversing current flow through cell.

The Dry Cell (LeClanche’ Cell)
One example is flashlight, radio, etc. batteries. Container is made of zinc
acts as an electrode Graphite rod is in center of cell
acts as the other electrode Space between electrodes is filled with a
mixture of: ammonium chloride, NH4Cl
manganese (IV) oxide, MnO2
zinc chloride, ZnCl2 porous inactive solid

The Dry Cell (LeClanche’ Cell) As current is produced, Zn dissolves
and goes into solution as Zn2+ ions. Zn electrode is negative (anode).

Secondary Voltaic Cells
Secondary cells are reversible, rechargeable.
Electrodes can be regenerated One example is the lead storage or car
battery.

Lead Storage Battery Electrodes are two sets of lead alloy grids (plates). Holes in one grid are filled with lead (IV) oxide,
PbO2. Other holes are filled with spongy lead. Electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid. When battery is discharging, spongy lead is
oxidized to lead ions and the plate becomes negatively charged.

Lead Storage Battery This battery can be recharged by passing
electricity through the cell in the opposite direction.
Voltaic cell is converted to galvanic cell.
At lead electrode, lead ions are reduced to lead atoms.

The Hydrogen-Oxygen Fuel Cell
Fuel cells are batteries that must have their reactants continuously supplied in the presence of appropriate catalysts.
Hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is used in the space shuttle. Hydrogen is oxidized at anode Oxygen is reduced at cathode

Bonus Questions
1. What are the explosive chemicals in the fuel cell that were aboard Apollo 13? Which tank exploded?
2. Some of the deadliest snakes in the world, for example the cobra, have venoms that are neurotoxins. Neurotoxins have an electrochemical basis. How do neurotoxins disrupt normal chemistry and eventually kill their prey?
