6 Alpha Decay Alpha production (  ): an alpha particle is a helium nucleus Alpha decay is limited to heavy, radioactive nuclei

7 Alpha Radiation Limited to VERY large nucleii.

8 Beta Decay Beta production (  ): A beta particle is an electron ejected from the nucleus Beta emission converts a neutron to a proton

9 Beta Radiation Converts a neutron into a proton.

10 Gamma Ray Production Gamma ray production (  ): Gamma rays are high energy photons produced in association with other forms of decay. Gamma rays are massless and do not, by themselves, change the nucleus

11 Deflection of Decay Particles Opposite charges_________ each other. Like charges_________ each other. attract repel

12 Positron Production Positron emission: Positrons are the anti- particle of the electron Positron emission converts a proton to a neutron

13 Electron Capture Electron capture: (inner-orbital electron is captured by the nucleus) Electron capture converts a proton to a neutron

14 Types of Radiation

15 Nuclear Stability Decay will occur in such a way as to return a nucleus to the band (line) of stability. The most stable nuclide is Iron-56 If Z > 83, the nuclide is radioactive

16 A Decay Series A radioactive nucleus reaches a stable state by a series of steps

17 Half-life Concept

18 Decay Kinetics Decay occurs by first order kinetics (the rate of decay is proportional to the number of nuclides present) N = number of nuclides remaining at time t N 0 = number of nuclides present initially k = rate constant t = elapsed time

19 Calculating Half-life t 1/2 = Half-life (units dependent on rate constant, k )

20 Sample Half-Lives

21 Nuclear Fission and Fusion Fusion: Combining two light nuclei to form a heavier, more stable nucleus. Fission: Splitting a heavy nucleus into two nuclei with smaller mass numbers.

22 Energy and Mass Nuclear changes occur with small but measurable losses of mass. The lost mass is called the mass defect, and is converted to energy according to Einstein’s equation:  E =  mc 2  m = mass defect  E = change in energy c = speed of light Because c 2 is so large, even small amounts of mass are converted to enormous amount of energy.

23 Fission

24 Fission Processes A self-sustaining fission process is called a chain reaction.

25 A Fission Reactor

26 Fusion

27 Review l Oxidation reduction reactions involve a transfer of electrons. l OIL- RIG l Oxidation Involves Loss l Reduction Involves Gain l LEO-GER l Lose Electrons Oxidation l Gain Electrons Reduction

29 Applications l Moving electrons is electric current. 8H + +MnO 4 - + 5Fe +2 +5e -  Mn +2 + 5Fe +3 +4H 2 O l Helps to break the reactions into half reactions. 8H + +MnO 4 - +5e -  Mn +2 +4H 2 O 5(Fe +2  Fe +3 + e - ) l In the same mixture it happens without doing useful work, but if separate

30 H + MnO 4 - Fe +2 l Connected this way the reaction starts l Stops immediately because charge builds up. e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e-

31 H + MnO 4 - Fe +2 Galvanic Cell Salt Bridge allows current to flow

35 Cell Potential l Oxidizing agent pulls the electron. l Reducing agent pushes the electron. The push or pull (“driving force”) is called the cell potential E cell l Also called the electromotive force (emf) l Unit is the volt(V) l = 1 joule of work/coulomb of charge l Measured with a voltmeter

36 Zn +2 SO 4 -2 1 M HCl Anode 0.76 1 M ZnSO 4 H + Cl - H 2 in Cathode

37 1 M HCl H + Cl - H 2 in Standard Hydrogen Electrode l This is the reference all other oxidations are compared to E º = 0 l º indicates standard states of 25ºC, 1 atm, 1 M solutions.

38 Cell Potential Zn(s) + Cu +2 (aq)  Zn +2 (aq) + Cu(s) l The total cell potential is the sum of the potential at each electrode. E º cell = E º Zn  Zn +2 + E º Cu +2  Cu l We can look up reduction potentials in a table. l One of the reactions must be reversed, so change it sign.

39 Cell Potential l Determine the cell potential for a galvanic cell based on the redox reaction. Cu(s) + Fe +3 (aq)  Cu +2 (aq) + Fe +2 (aq) Fe +3 (aq) + e -  Fe +2 (aq) E º = 0.77 V Cu +2 (aq)+2e -  Cu(s) E º = 0.34 V Cu(s)  Cu +2 (aq)+2e - E º = -0.34 V 2Fe +3 (aq) + 2e -  2Fe +2 (aq) E º = 0.77 V

40 Reduction potential More negative E º – more easily electron is added – More easily reduced – Better oxidizing agent More positive E º – more easily electron is lost – More easily oxidized – Better reducing agent

41 Line Notation solid  Aqueous  Aqueous  solid Anode on the left  Cathode on the right l Single line different phases. l Double line porous disk or salt bridge. l If all the substances on one side are aqueous, a platinum electrode is indicated.

43 In a galvanic cell, the electrode that acts as a source of electrons to the solution is called the __________; the chemical change that occurs at this electrode is called________. a. cathode, oxidation b. anode, reduction c. anode, oxidation d. cathode, reduction

44 Under standard conditions, which of the following is the net reaction that occurs in the cell? Cd|Cd 2+ || Cu 2+ |Cu a. Cu 2+ + Cd → Cu + Cd 2+ b. Cu + Cd → Cu 2+ + Cd 2+ c. Cu 2+ + Cd 2+ → Cu + Cd d. Cu + Cd 2+ → Cd + Cu 2+

45 Galvanic Cell l The reaction always runs spontaneously in the direction that produced a positive cell potential. l Four things for a complete description. 1)Cell Potential 2)Direction of flow 3)Designation of anode and cathode 4)Nature of all the components- electrodes and ions

46 Practice l Completely describe the galvanic cell based on the following half-reactions under standard conditions. MnO 4 - + 8 H + +5e -  Mn +2 + 4H 2 O E º=1.51 V Fe +3 +3e -  Fe(s) E º=0.036V

47 Potential, Work and  G l emf = potential (V) = work (J) / Charge(C) E = work done by system / charge E = -w/q l Charge is measured in coulombs. -w = q E l Faraday = 96,485 C/mol e - l q = nF = moles of e - x charge/mole e - w = -q E = -nF E =  G

48 Potential, Work and  G  Gº = -nF E º if E º > 0, then  Gº < 0 spontaneous if E º 0 nonspontaneous l In fact, reverse is spontaneous. Calculate  Gº for the following reaction: Cu +2 (aq)+ Fe(s)  Cu(s)+ Fe +2 (aq) Fe +2 (aq) + e -  Fe(s) E º = 0.44 V Cu +2 (aq)+2e -  Cu(s) E º = 0.34 V

49 Cell Potential and Concentration Qualitatively - Can predict direction of change in E from LeChâtelier. 2Al(s) + 3Mn +2 (aq)  2Al +3 (aq) + 3Mn(s) Predict if E cell will be greater or less than E º cell if [Al +3 ] = 1.5 M and [Mn +2 ] = 1.0 M l if [Al +3 ] = 1.0 M and [Mn +2 ] = 1.5M l if [Al +3 ] = 1.5 M and [Mn +2 ] = 1.5 M

50 The Nernst Equation  G =  Gº +RTln(Q) -nF E = -nF E º + RTln(Q) E = E º - RT ln(Q) nF 2Al(s) + 3Mn +2 (aq)  2Al +3 (aq) + 3Mn(s) E º = 0.48 V l Always have to figure out n by balancing. l If concentration can gives voltage, then from voltage we can tell concentration.

51 The Nernst Equation l As reactions proceed concentrations of products increase and reactants decrease. Reach equilibrium where Q = K and E cell = 0 0 = E º - RTln(K) nF E º = RT ln(K) nF nF Eº = ln(K) RT
