Electrochemistry

Galvanic Cell

Converts the chemical energy released during redox reaction into electrical energy

E.g. Daniell cell

Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) β†’ Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)

Cell Electromotive Force (emf)

The potential difference between the two electrodes of a galvanic cell, i.e. of the cathode and anode.

Cathode – reduction (right)

Anode – oxidation (left)

Ecell = Eright – Eleft

Nernst Equation

For the electrode reaction:

Mn+(aq) + ne β†’ M(s)

E(Mn+/M) = EβŠ–(Mn+/M) – RT/nF ln 1/[Mn+]

Equilibrium Constant

from Nernst Equation

EβŠ–cell = 2.303RT/nF log Kc

R is gas constant (8.314 JK-1 mol-1 )

F is Faraday constant (96487 C mol-1)

Kc is equilibrium constant

Gibbs Energy of the Reaction for an Electrochemical

Cell

βˆ†rG = – nFE(cell)

E(cell) – emf of the cell

nF – the amount of charge passed

βˆ†rG – Gibbs energy of the reaction

Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis

First Law: The amount of chemical change produced by the current is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte

Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis

Second Law: The amounts of chemical changes produced by the same quantity of electricity in different substances are proportional to their chemical equivalent weights

Primary Batteries

It cannot be reused.

E.g. Dry cell or Leclanche cell

Anode: Zn(s) β†’ Zn2+ + 2e–

Cathode: MnO + NH4+ + e– β†’ MnO(OH) + NH3

Mercury Cell

Primary battery

Anode: zinc – mercury amalgam

Cathode: a paste of HgO and carbon

Secondary Batteries

It can be used again by recharging.

E.g. Lead storage battery

Anode: lead

Cathode: PbO2

Electrolyte: 38% sulphuric acid

Nickel-cadmium Cell

Secondary cell

Rechargeable

Reaction during discharge:

Cd(s) + 2Ni(OH)3(s) β†’ CdO(s) + 2Ni(OH)2(s) + H2O(l )
