  1. Redox Reactions and Electrochemistry • Redox reactions • Galvanic cells • Standard reduction potential • Cell potential • Free energy • Effect of concentration • Battery • Corrosion • Electrolysis

  2. 2Fe (s) + O2 (g) 2FeO (s) 2Fe 2Fe2+ + 4e- O2 + 4e- 2O2- I. Oxidization–Reduction (Redox) Reaction • Electrochemical processes are redox reactions in which: • energy released by a spontaneous reaction is converted to electricity • electrical energy is used to cause a nonspontaneous reaction 0 0 2+ 2- Oxidation half-reaction (lose e-): Fe is oxidized and Fe is the reducing agent Reduction half-reaction (gain e-): O2 is reduced and O2 is the oxidizing agent

  3. A. Oxidation number/state • Free elements have an oxidation number (ON) =0 • Monatomic ions, the ON is equal to the charge on the ion. • The ON of oxygen isusually –2. In H2O2 and O22-:–1, in O2- : -1/2 • The ON of hydrogen is +1except when it is bonded to metals in binary compounds. In these cases, its oxidation number is –1. • Fluorine is always –1, Group IA metals are +1, IIA metals are +2 in compounds. • The sum of the ON of all the atoms in a molecule or ion is equal to the charge on the molecule or ion. Ex. Oxidation numbers of all the atoms in HSO3– 1 +3x (-2)+S= -1 O =-2 H= +1 S=? S=4

Balance redox reaction By inspection 2 • Ion-electron method (half-reaction method) By balancing the number of electrons lost and gained during the reaction Oxidation half reaction Reduction half reaction ( ) x 2

  5. Fe2+ + Cr2O72- Fe3+ + Cr3+ +2 +3 Fe2+ Fe3+ +6 +3 Cr2O72- Cr3+ Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ Ion-electron method The oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ by Cr2O72- in acid solution? • Write the unbalanced equation for the reaction ion ionic form. • Separate the equation into two half-reactions. Oxidation: Reduction: • Balance the atoms other than O and H in each half-reaction.

  6. Fe2+ Fe3+ + 1e- 6Fe2+ 6Fe3+ + 6e- 6e- + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O 6e- + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O Ion-electron method • For reactions in acid, add H2O to balance O atoms and H+ to balance H atoms. • Add electrons to one side of each half-reaction to balance the charges on the half-reaction. • If necessary, equalize the number of electrons in the two half-reactions by multiplying the half-reactions by appropriate coefficients.

  7. 14H+ + Cr2O72- + 6Fe2+ 6Fe3+ + 2Cr3+ + 7H2O 6Fe2+ 6Fe3+ + 6e- 6e- + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O Ion-electron method • Add the two half-reactions together and balance the final equation by inspection. The number of electrons on both sides must cancel. Oxidation: Reduction: • Verify that the number of atoms and the charges are balanced. 14x1 – 2 + 6x2 = 24 = 6x3 + 2x3 • For reactions in basic solutions, add OH- to both sides of the equation for every H+ that appears in the final equation.

  8. Summary of balancing redox reaction in acidic solutions 1. Divide reaction into two incomplete half-reactions 2. Balance each half-reaction by doing the following: a. Balance all elements, except O and H b. Balance O by adding H2O c. Balance H by adding H+ d. Balance charge by adding e– as needed 3. If the electrons in one half-reaction do not balance those in the other, then multiply each half-reaction to get a common multiple 4. The overall reaction is the sum of the half-reactions 5. The oxidation half-reaction is the one that produces electrons as products, and the reduction half-reaction is the one that uses electrons as reactants

  9. Ex. Balance I– + OCl– I2 + Cl–in basic solution? I– I2 2 I– I2 OCl– Cl– Add up 2 H2O+2 e– + OCl– Cl– + H2O + 2 OH– 2 e– + H2O+ OCl– Cl– + 2 OH– 2 I– + H2O+ OCl– I2 + Cl– + 2 OH– Summary of balancing redox reaction in basic solutions Steps 1-3 are the same as the reaction in acidic solution 4. Since we are under basic conditions, we neutralize any H+ ions in solution by adding an equal number of OH– to both sides 5. The overall reaction is the sum of the half-reactions Oxidation +2 e– Reduction 2 OH– + 2 H+ + 2e– + + H2O + 2 OH–

  17. E0 is for the reaction as written • The more positive E0 the greater the tendency for the substance to be reduced • The half-cell reactions are reversible • The sign of E0changes when the reaction is reversed • Changing the stoichiometric coefficients of a half-cell reaction does not change the value of E0
