4 Your 1st electrochemical reaction
Ag(s) + CuCl(aq) → Cu(s) + AgCl(aq) Which species loses an electron? Which species gains an electron? Which species has no electron change?

5 Oxidation and Reduction
OXIDATION occurs when an apple turns brown or steel rusts upon exposure to air (reaction with oxygen) the Loss of Electrons in a reaction is Oxidation (LEO) a substance is oxidized when it loses electrons

6 Oxidation and Reduction
REDUCTION occurs when hydrogen is gained the Gain of Electrons in a reaction is Reduction (GER) a substance is reduced when it gains electrons

7 GER LEO

8 Oxidation and Reduction
Oxidation-Reduction reactions are usually referred to as redox reactions.

9 Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Gain

10 Oxidation and Reduction
Identify the species being oxidized and the species being reduced below: Fe(NO3)3 + Al → Al(NO3)3 + Fe Pb + SnCl2 → Sn + PbCl2

11 Oxidation and Reduction
Why is this NOT an example of an electrochemical reaction? CaCl2 + 2 AgNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl

12 Net Ionic Equations (NIE)
Net Ionic Equations show only the species that change during a chemical reaction. Ions not directly involved in the chemical change are called spectator ions. eg. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of Cu(s) metal in AgNO3(aq) Cu(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) Ag(s)

13 Net Ionic Equations (NIE)
Cu(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) Ag(s) Cu(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) + 2 NO3-(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 2 NO3-(aq) + 2 Ag(s) Cu(s) Ag+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) Ag(s)

14 Cu(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s) NET IONIC EQUATION:
Cu(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s) NET IONIC EQUATION: Cu(s) Ag+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s) Cu loses 2 electrons – Cu is oxidized Ag+ gains 1 electron – Ag+ is reduced The spectator ion (ion not changed by this reaction) is NO3-(aq)

15 Oxidation and Reduction
eg. Write the NET IONIC EQUATION for the reaction between Cl2(g) and NaI(aq). Identify the species being oxidized and the species being reduced. Cl2(g) NaI(aq) → NaCl(aq) + I2(s)

16 Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
the substance that is oxidized in a redox reaction is called the reducing agent (RA). the substance that is reduced in a redox reaction is called the oxidizing agent (OA).

17 Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
eg. Identify the OA and the RA in the following redox reactions Cu(s) Ag+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s) Cl2(g) I-(aq) → 2 Cl-(aq) + I2(s)

18 Half Reactions A redox reaction can be separated into two parts called half-reactions. The oxidation half-reaction shows the loss of electrons. The reduction half-reaction shows the gain of electrons.

19 Half Reactions eg. Write the oxidation and reduction half reactions for Cu(s) Ag+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s) oxidation: Cu(s) →Cu2+(aq) + 2e- reduction: 2 Ag+(aq) + 2e- → 2 Ag(s)

20 Half Reactions Write the half-reactions for:
Sn4+(aq) + Pb2+(aq) → Sn2+(aq) + Pb4+(aq) Reduction: Sn4+(aq) + 2e-(aq) → Sn2+(aq) Oxidation: Pb2+(aq) → Pb4+(aq) + 2e- F2(g) Br -(aq) → 2 F-(aq) + Br2(s) Reduction: F2(g) + 2 e -(aq) → 2 F-(aq) Oxidation: 2 Br -(aq) → Br2(s) + 2e-

23 Oxidation Numbers The oxidation number is the actual or hypothetical charge on an element or ion using an assigned set of rules. species Cl- ion Mg2+ ion Mg atom C in CH4 oxidation # -1 +2 -4

24 Determining Oxidation Numbers (See p. 724)
Pure elements → oxidation # = 0 eg. Cl2(g), Mg(s), P4(s), Fe(s) Simple ions → oxidation # = ion charge eg. Cl- → oxidation # = -1 Mg 2+ → oxidation # = +2

25 Determining Oxidation Numbers
Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 except in metal hydrides. eg. H is +1 in NH3, H2O, and HCl H is -1 in NaH and CaH2 Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 except in: - peroxides such as H2O2 - and in OF2.

26 Determining Oxidation Numbers
If H or O are not in a covalent compound, the atom with the highest electronegativity has the oxidation number that matches its charge. eg. Determine the oxidation # on nitrogen in: a) NF3 b) NI3

27 Determining Oxidation Numbers
The sum of all oxidation numbers in a compound is ZERO. eg. CH4 H → C must be ???

28 Determining Oxidation Numbers
The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion equals the ion charge. eg. CO32- O → C + 3(-2) = -2 C = +4 Textbook: p #’s 9 – 12

30 Identifying Redox Reactions
Redox reactions can be identified by looking at the oxidation numbers of the species involved. Changes in oxidation numbers indicate a reaction is a redox reaction.

61 Electrochemical Cells (p. 757)
An electrochemical cell changes chemical energy into electricity AKA: Galvanic cell or Voltaic cell These cells require spontaneous redox reactions

62 Electrochemical Cells

72 Inert Electrodes Some redox reactions involve substances that cannot serve as electrodes (gases, mixtures of ions) These cells must use an inert electrode - an electrode made from a material that is neither a reactant nor a product. Common inert electrodes include graphite - C(s) - and platinum - Pt(s)

74 Standard Reduction Potentials
The difference in the potential energy of the electrons at the anode and the cathode is the electric potential, E, of the cell electric potential is usually called cell voltage or cell potential E is measured in volts

75 Standard Reduction Potentials
The potentials in the table use hydrogen as a reference electrode The potential of each ½ cell is found by connecting each to the hydrogen ½ cell. The table of standard reduction potentials gives the voltage for each ½ reaction in the standard state (ie. 1 mol/L and 25 °C)

76 Standard Reduction Potentials
All cell voltages may be determined using the half cell voltages from the Standard Reduction Potentials table. DO NOT MULTIPLY VOLTAGES when multiplying equations to cancel electrons!!

103 Faraday’s Law Faraday’s Law can be used to determine the amount of substance produced or consumed in an electrolytic cell The amount of substance is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity that flows through the cell (or the electric charge).

104 Faraday’s Law The Coulomb (C) is the unit used to measure the quantity of electricity (Q) flowing in a circuit (or the electric charge). The charge on one mole of electrons is 96,500 Coulombs. This charge is called Faraday’s constant: F = 96,500 C/mol

105 Faraday’s Law FORMULA: Q = neF Q = charge in coulombs (C)
ne = # of moles of electrons (mol) F = 96,500 C/mol

106 Faraday’s Law one coulomb is the quantity of electric charge that flows through a circuit in one second if the current is one ampere. ie. 1 A = 1 C/sec FORMULA: Q = I t Q = charge in coulombs (C) I = current in amperes (A) t = time in seconds (s)

107 Faraday’s Law From Q = I t and Q = neF I t = neF
eg. A spoon was copper plated using CuSO4(aq) in an electrolytic cell that has 3.10 amps of electricity passing through it for 2.50 h. What mass of copper will be deposited?

108 I t = neF (3.10)(2.5 x 60 x 60) = ne x (96,500) mol = ne Cu2+(aq) + 2 e- → Cu(s) nCu = mol e- x 1 Cu = mol Cu 2 e- mCu = mol Cu x g/mol = 9.21 g Cu Reaction:

109 Faraday’s Law eg g of solid Au is deposited on a bracelet using a solution of gold(III) nitrate and 2.00 A of current. For how long was the current applied?

110 n = 0.423g / g/mol = mol Au Au3+(ag) + 3e- → Au(s) ne = x 3 e-/1 Au = mol e- I t = neF (2.00)(t) = ( )(96,500) t = 311 s

111 An electrolytic cell has a zinc strip anode and a zinc strip cathode placed in a solution of zinc sulfate. A current of A is supplied for seconds. What mass of zinc is electroplated?

112 In an electrolytic cell, 0. 061 g of Zn(s) was plated in 10
In an electrolytic cell, g of Zn(s) was plated in 10.0 minutes from a solution of ZnCl2(aq). What current was used? p. 793 #’s

113 The titanium cathode in an electrolytic cell increases in mass by 2

Last one!! 5 CH3OH(l) + 2 MnO4-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) → 5 CH2O(l) + 2 Mn2+(aq) + 8 H2O(l)

116 Redox Stoichiometry A redox titration could be used to find an unknown concentration of an OA or RA. The colors of the reactants and products serve as indicators Calculations are the same as those in acid-base stoichiometry.

117 Redox Stoichiometry (see p. 742) 5 H2O2 + 2 MnO H+ → 5 O2 + 2 Mn2+ + 8H2O - purple MnO4- changes to the colorless Mn2+ until all of the H2O2 reacts - the endpoint occurs when the purple color remains

118 Redox Stoichiometry 0.174 mol/L Sample Problem:
25.00 mL of a Fe2+ solution was titrated with acidic mol/L K2Cr2O7 solution. The endpoint was reached when mL of K2Cr2O7 solution had been added. What was the molar concentration of Fe2+ Cr2O Fe2+ → Cr3+ + Fe3+ (balanced??)
