Example 2:Example 2: Calculate the values of Δ G° and K eq at 25°C for the following reaction: 3Mg (s) + 2Al +3 (1M) 3Mg +2 (1M) + 2Al (s)
3
Batteries Connects objects Converts chemical---electrical energy Two or more voltaic cells connected to each other
4
Types of BatteriesTypes of Batteries 1)Dry Cells Alkaline batteries 2)Lead Storage Batteries 3)Fuel Cells
5
Dry Cells—GeneralDry Cells—General Composed of “primary cells” Irreversible redox reactions, not capable of being recharged Fairly expensive and maximum voltage of 1.55V “Typical batteries”---seen with flashlights, other electronics
6
Dry Cells—In DetailDry Cells—In Detail Anode: Zn (s) Zn +2 (aq) + 2e - Cathode: Mixture of carbon rod and MnO 2(s) Electrolyte mixture of NH 4 Cl and ZnCl 2 2MnO 2(s) +H + (aq) + 1e - MnO(OH) (s) THEN---- 2MnO(OH) (s) Mn 2 O 3(s) + H 2 O (l)
8
Dry Cells—Alkaline CellsDry Cells—Alkaline Cells Longer shelf-life, more current generated over time, more expensive Different electrolyte—KOH Same half-reactions but occur in basic solution. Reduction: 2MnO 2(s) + H 2 O (l) + 2e - Mn 2 O 3(s) + 2OH - (aq) Oxidation: Zn (s) + 2OH - Zn(OH) 2(s) + 2e - No decrease in voltage as current is generated.
10
Lead Storage BatteryLead Storage Battery Made by several lead plates connected together and all in a H 2 SO 4 solution—composed of “secondary cells” Reversible Rechargeable
11
Lead Storage Battery—In Detail Many voltaic cells—increase current capacity Each voltaic cell has approximately 2V capacity, 6 cells connected together and results in a 12V battery PbSO 4(s) produced at both electrodes
14
Lead Storage Battery—In Detail Anode: Pb (s) + HSO 4 - (aq) PbSO 4(s) + H + (aq) + 2e - Cathode: PbO 2(s) + HSO 4 - (aq) + 3H + + 2e - PbSO 4(s) + 2H 2 O (l) Electrolyte solution is sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 )
15
Lead Storage Battery— Discharging/Recharging Discharging PbSO 4 collects at electrodes Water dilutes sulfuric acid solution Recharging Requires external energy source Forces electrons to move in the direction of the reverse reaction Produces negative cell potential, nonspontaneous
16
Fuel CellsFuel Cells Electrochemical cell that uses a reaction with oxygen for electrical energy Components exist outside typical battery Fuel + Oxygen Oxidation products
17
Example Hydrogen—Oxygen Fuel Cell

Iron Corrosion—in generalIron Corrosion—in general A redox reaction in a makeshift voltaic cell Processes are separate on metal, but often occur at same areas Spontaneous process Electrons move through metal and electrolyte solution is air
21
Iron Corrosion—now in detail Cracked/dented iron more susceptible to corrosion Higher energy state---oxidation likely Oxygen from air oxidizes iron Occurs at “anodic areas” Fe (s) Fe +2 + 2e - Electrons travel along the iron to “cathodic areas” where reduction occurs Oxygen is reduced O 2(g) + 2H 2 O (l) + 4e - 4OH - (aq) **Iron goes through 2 oxidations before “rust” forms.
23
Corrosion ProtectionCorrosion Protection Multiple ways 2 main ways 1) Galvanized Iron 2) Cathodic Protection
24
Corrosion Protection— Galvanized Iron Iron coated with more reactive metal (Zn) Outer layer of zinc placed around iron Zinc reacts with oxygen in the place of iron Zinc sacrifices itself—goes through corrosion (Ex. Galvanized iron nails)
25
Corrosion Protection— Cathodic Protection Iron/steel connected directly or indirectly to an active metal (Mg, Al, or Zn) Active metal sacrifices itself in place of the iron/steel “Sacrificial anode” Iron acts as the cathode and reduction occurs there Ex. Ships, plumbing, pipes
