Electrochemical Cells Chapter 21

Electrochemistry Galvanic/Voltaic Cells (Batteries) (Make electricity from chemical reactions) Electrolysis / Electrolytic Cell (Make chemical reactions occur using electricity)

Consider the reaction… (see p. 664, Fig 21-1) Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq)  Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq) Oxidation: Zn  Zn+2 + 2e- Reduction: Cu2+ +2e-  Cu

Mnemonic device for you… Big fat red cat! The big fat # (greatest reduction potential) is the site of reduction (cathode)

Electrochemical Cells if the 2 solutions are physically connected, but are connected by an external wire, electrons can still be transferred through the wire. electrons flowing through a wire generate energy in the form of electricity. an electrochemical cell is a container in which chemical reactions produce electricity or an electric current produces chemical change. when an electrochemical cell produces electricity, it is also known as a voltaic cell.

Electrochemical Cells in the copper-zinc cell, the Cu and Zn electrodes (strips of each metal) are immersed in sulfate solutions of their respective ions (CuSO4 and ZnSO4) the solutions are separated by a porous barrier (prevents solutions from mixing, but allows ions to pass through), or a salt bridge (any medium through which ions can pass slowly).

Electrochemical Cells Cu2+ ions gain 2 electrons at the surface of the Cu strip, where they are deposited as Cu atoms: Cu2+ + 2e-  Cu (reduction) Zn atoms in the Zn strip are losing electrons to become Zn2+ ions in solution: Zn  Zn2+ + 2e- (oxidation)

Electrochemical Cells voltaic cells are divided into 2 components called HALF CELLS: consist of a metal electrode in contact with a solution of its own ions. the ANODE is the half cell at which oxidation occurs; (a source of electrons) the CATHODE is the half cell at which reduction occurs (use up electrons)

Electrochemical Cells electrons “flow” from left to right (anode to cathode) we can predict the “direction” of the electron flow in any given cell using the activity series and reduction potentials for metals (see Table 21-1, p. 667) the more negative the Standard Reduction Potential value, the more likely a metal is to “give up” its electrons (become oxidized) and serve as the anode.

Electrochemical Cells the reaction in the cell will be spontaneous if the E° for the cell is positive; it is calculated as follows: E° cell = E° cathode – E° anode

Example E°cell = 0.3419 V – (-0.7618 V) E°cell = 1.1037 V consider the zinc-copper cell: Zn2+ + 2e-  Zn E° = -0.7618 V Cu2+ + 2e-  Cu E° = 0.3419 V reduction of zinc has the lower value, so Zn is the anode what is the E° for the cell? E°cell = 0.3419 V – (-0.7618 V) E°cell = 1.1037 V

Example Al E°cell = -0.7618 V – (-1.662 V) E°cell = 0.900 V consider a cell made from Al and Zn: Zn2+ + 2e-  Zn E° = -0.7618 V Al3+ + 3e-  Al E° = -1.662 V what is the anode? Al what is the E° for the cell? E°cell = -0.7618 V – (-1.662 V) E°cell = 0.900 V

Batteries Batteries are voltaic cells: a voltage is generated by a battery only if electrons continue to be removed from 1 substance and transferred to another; when equilibrium is reached between the 2 half cells, the battery is “dead.” Rechargeable batteries: an external voltage source is applied to the battery’s electrodes and reverses the half-reactions; this restores the electrodes to their original state.

Batteries while the battery is being used, it operates as a voltaic cell (converts chemical energy into electric energy) while the battery is being charged, it operates as an electrolytic cell (converts electric energy into chemical energy)
