Transcription de la présentation
  1. Electrode Potentials • know the IUPAC convention for writing half-equations for electrode reactions. • Know and be able to use the conventional representation of cells. • Know that standard electrode potential, E , refers to conditions of 298 K, 100 kPa and 1.00 mol dm−3 solution of ions.

  2. Zn2+(aq) + 2 e–  Zn(s)

  3. - electrode anode oxidation + electrode cathode reduction electron flow At this electrode the metal loses electrons and so is oxidised to metal ions. These electrons make the electrode negative. At this electrode the metal ions gain electrons and so is reduced to metal atoms. As electrons are used up, this makes the electrode positive. Zn Cu Zn  Zn2+ + 2 e- oxidation Cu2+ + 2 e- Cu reduction

  4. Standard Conditions Concentration 1.0 mol dm-3 (ions involved in ½ equation) Temperature 298 K Pressure 100 kPa(if gases involved in ½ equation) Current Zero (use high resistance voltmeter)

  5. S tandard H ydrogen E lectrode

  6. Emf = E = Eright - Eleft E = Eright

  7. Pt(s) | H2(g) | H+(aq) || Cu2+(aq) | Cu(s)

  8. Zn Zn2+ Cu2+ Cu CELL DIAGRAMS These give a diagrammatic representation of what is happening in a cell. • Place the cell with the more positive E° value on the RHS of the diagram. Cu2+(aq) + 2e¯ Cu(s) E° = + 0.34V put on the RHS Zn2+(aq) + 2e¯ Zn(s) E° = - 0.76V put on the LHS ZINC IS IN CONTACT THE SOLUTIONS A SOLUTION OF WITH A SOLUTION ARE JOINED VIA A COPPER IONS IN OF ZINC IONS SALT BRIDGE TO CONTACT WITH COPPER

  9. Zn Zn2+ Cu2+ Cu CELL DIAGRAMS These give a diagrammatic representation of what is happening in a cell. • Place the cell with the more positive E° value on the RHS of the diagram. Cu2+(aq) + 2e¯ Cu(s) E° = + 0.34V put on the RHS Zn2+(aq) + 2e¯ Zn(s) E° = - 0.76V put on the LHS • Draw as shown… the cell reaction goes from left to right • the zinc metal dissolves Zn(s) ——> Zn2+(aq) + 2e¯OXIDATION • copper is deposited Cu2+(aq) + 2e¯ ——> Cu(s)REDUCTION • oxidation takes place at the anode • reduction at the cathode _ +

  10. Zn Zn2+ Cu2+ Cu V CELL DIAGRAMS These give a diagrammatic representation of what is happening in a cell. • Place the cell with the more positive E° value on the RHS of the diagram. Cu2+(aq) + 2e¯ Cu(s) E° = + 0.34V put on the RHS Zn2+(aq) + 2e¯ Zn(s) E° = - 0.76V put on the LHS • Draw as shown…the electrons go round the external circuit from left to right • electrons are released when zinc turns into zinc ions • the electrons produced go round the external circuit to the copper • electrons are picked up by copper ions and copper is deposited _ +

  11. Zn Zn2+ Cu2+ Cu V CELL DIAGRAMS These give a diagrammatic representation of what is happening in a cell. • Place the cell with the more positive E° value on the RHS of the diagram. Cu2+(aq) + 2e¯ Cu(s) E° = + 0.34V put on the RHS Zn2+(aq) + 2e¯ Zn(s) E° = - 0.76V put on the LHS • Draw as shown…the cell voltage is E°(RHS) - E°(LHS) - it must be positive cell voltage = +0.34V - (-0.76V) = +1.10V _ +

  12. ROOR Ni(s) | Ni2+(aq) || Sn4+(aq), Sn2+(aq) | Pt(s) K(s) | K+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)

  13. GOLDEN RULE The more +ve electrode gains electrons (+ charge attracts electrons)

  14. Electrodes with negative emf are better at releasing electrons (better reducing agents).
