2 Gustav Robert Kirchhoff(1824-1877) was a German physicist who made many important contributions to physics and chemistry. In addition to his work in spectroscopy, he is known for Kirchhoff’s laws of current and voltage in electrical circuits. These laws can be summarized by the following equations:  I = 0 and  E = 0. These equations state that the sum of the currents into any circuit point (node) is zero and the sum of the potential differences around any circuit loop is zero.

3 Calculating potentials of electrochemical cells E cell = E right – E left Ex. Cu Cu 2+ (0.0200M) Ag + (0.0200M) Ag Cu (s) + 2Ag + = Cu 2+ (aq) + 2Ag(s) Ag + + e = Ag(s) E o = + 0.799 V Cu 2+ + 2e = Cu(s) E o = + 0.337 V 2Ag + + 2e = 2Ag(s) E o = + 0.799 V E = 0.799 – (0.05916/1) log (1/0.0200) = 0.6984 V Cu 2+ + 2e = Cu(s) E o = + 0.337 V E = 0.337 – (0.05916/2) log (1/0.0200) = 0.2867V Cu (s) + 2Ag + = Cu 2+ (aq) + 2Ag(s) E o cell = + 0.799 V – (+ 0.337 V) E cell = E right – E left = 0.6984 – 0.2864 = + 0.462 V = + 0.412 V  G = – nFE = – 2 ×96485 C × 0.412 V = 79,503 J (18.99 kcal)

4 EX Calculate the potential of the following cell and indicate the reaction that would occur spontaneously if the cell were short-circuited. Pt U 4+ (0.200M), UO 2 2+ (0.0150M), H + (0.300M) Fe 2+ (0.0100M), Fe 3+ (0.0250M) Pt

5 The two half-reactions are Fe 3+ + e _ ↔ Fe 2+ E o = + 0.771V UO 2 2+ + 4H + + 2e - ↔ U 4+ + 2H 2 O E o = + 0.334V The electrode potential for the right-hand electrode is E right = 0.771 – 0.05916 log [Fe 2+ ]/[Fe 3+ ] = 0.771 – 0.05916 log 0.0100/0.0250 = 0.771 – (– 0.0236) = 0.7946 V The electrode potential for the left-hand electrode is E Left = 0.334 – (0.0592 / 2) log [U 4+ ] / [UO 2 2+ ][ H + ] 4 = 0.334 – (0.0592 / 2) log 0.200 / (0.0150) (0.0300) 4 = 0.334 – 0.2136 = 0.1204 V And E cell = E right – E left = 0.7946 – 0.2136 = 0.674V The positive sign means that the spontaneous reaction is the oxidation of U 4+ on the left and the reduction of Fe 3+ on the right, or U 4+ +2 Fe 3+ + 2H 2 O ↔ UO 2 2+ +Fe 2+ + 4H +

6 EX Calculate the cell potential for Ag AgCl (sat’d), HCl (0.0200M) H 2 (0.800atm ), Pt Cell without liquid junction

7 Note that this cell does not require two compartments (nor a salt bridge) because molecular H 2 has little tendency to react directly with the low concentration of Ag + in the electrolyte solution. This is an example of a cell without liquid junction. The two half- reactions and their corresponding standard electrode potentials are 2H + + 2e - ↔ H 2 E o H+/H2 = 0.000V AgCl(s) + e - ↔ Ag (s) + Cl – E o AgCl/Ag = 0.222V The two electrode potentials are E right = 0.000 – (0.0592/2)log p H2 / [H + ] 2 = – (0.0592/2) log 0.800 / (0.0200) 3 = – 0.0977 V E left = 0.222 – 0.0592log [Cl - ] = 0.222 – 0.0592 log 0.0200 = 0.3226V The cell potential is thus E cell = E right – E left = -0.0977 – 0.3226 = – 0.420V The negative sign indicates that the cell reaction as considered 2H + + 2 Ag(s) ↔ H 2 + 2AgCl(s) is nonspontaneous. To get this reaction to occur, we would have to apply an external voltage and construct an electrolytic cell.

28 Starch-Iodine complex Starch solution(05~ 1%) is not redox indicator. The active fraction of starch is amylose, a polymer of the sugar  -D-glucose ( 1,4 bond). The polymer exists as a coiled helix into which small molecules can fit. In the presence of starch and I –, iodine molecules form long chains of I 5 – ions that occupy the center of the amylose helix. [I I I I I] – [I I I I I] – Visible absorption by the I 5 – chain bound within the helix gives rise to the characteristic starch-iodine color.
