  2. Section 20.1 Voltaic Cells Describe a way to obtain electrical energy from a redox reaction. Identify the parts of a voltaic cell, and explain how each part operates. Calculate cell potentials, and determine the spontaneity of redox reactions. oxidation: the loss of electrons from the atoms of a substance; increases an atom’s oxidation number reduction: the gain of electrons by the atoms of a substance; decreases the atom’s oxidation number Section 20-1

  3. Section 20.1 Voltaic Cells (cont.) salt bridge electrochemical cell voltaic cell half-cell anode cathode reduction potential standard hydrogen electrode In voltaic cells, oxidation takes place at the anode, yielding electrons that flow to the cathode, where reduction occurs. Section 20-1

  4. Redox in Electrochemistry Electrochemistry is the study of the redox processes by which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy and vice versa. Redox reactions involve a transfer of electrons from the species that is oxidized to the species that is reduced. Section 20-1

  5. Redox in Electrochemistry (cont.) Section 20-1

  6. Redox in Electrochemistry (cont.) A salt bridge is a pathway to allow the passage of ions from one side to another, so that ions do not build up around the electrodes. An electrochemical cellis an apparatus that uses a redox reaction to produce electrical energy or uses electrical energy to cause a chemical reaction. Section 20-1

  7. Redox in Electrochemistry (cont.) A voltaic cell is a type of electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by a spontaneous redox reaction. Section 20-1

  8. Chemistry of Voltaic Cells An electrochemical cell consists of two parts called half-cells, in which the separate oxidation and reduction reactions take place. The electrode where oxidation takes place is called the anode. The cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs. Section 20-1

  9. Chemistry of Voltaic Cells (cont.) Electric potential energy is a measure of the amount of current that can be generated from a voltaic cell to do work. Electric charge can flow between two points only when a difference in electric potential energy exists between the two points. A volt is a unit used to measure cell potential—the force from the difference in electric potential energy between two electrodes. Section 20-1

  10. Calculating Electrochemical Cell Potentials The tendency of a substance to gain electrons is its reduction potential. When two half-reactions are coupled, the voltage generated corresponds to the difference in potential between the half-reactions. Section 20-1

  11. Calculating Electrochemical Cell Potentials (cont.) The standard hydrogen electrode consists of a small sheet of platinum immersed in a hydrochloric acid solution that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1 M. Hydrogen gas (H2), at a pressure of 1 atm, is bubbled in and the temperature ismaintained at 25°C. Section 20-1

  12. Calculating Electrochemical Cell Potentials (cont.) The standard hydrogen electrode is the standard against which all other reduction potentials are measured. Section 20-1

  13. Calculating Electrochemical Cell Potentials (cont.) Section 20-1

  14. Calculating Electrochemical Cell Potentials (cont.) • Formula for cell potential E0cell = E0reduction – E0oxidation Section 20-1

  15. Use Standard Reduction Potentials Cell potentials can be used to determine if a proposed reaction under standard conditions will be spontaneous. If the calculated potential is positive, the reaction is spontaneous. If the calculated potential is negative, the reaction is not spontaneous. Section 20-1

  19. Section 20.2 Batteries Describe the structure, composition, and operation of the typical carbon-zinc dry-cell battery. Distinguish between primary and secondary batteries, and give two examples of each type. Explain the structure and operation of the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell. Describe the process of corrosion of iron and methods to prevent corrosion. reversible reaction: a reaction that can take place in both the forward and reverse directions Section 20-2

  20. Section 20.2 Batteries (cont.) battery dry cell primary battery secondary battery fuel cell corrosion galvanization Batteries are voltaic cells that use spontaneous reactions to provide energy for a variety of purposes. Section 20-2

  21. Dry Cells A battery is one or more voltaic cells in a single package that generates electric current. Section 20-2

  22. Dry Cells (cont.) A dry-cellis an electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a moist paste. The paste in a zinc-carbon cell consists of zinc chloride, manganese(IV) oxide, ammonium chloride, and a small amount of water. The anode is the zinc shell. The cathode is a carbon rod, but reduction occurs in the paste. Section 20-2

  23. Dry Cells (cont.) In the alkaline cell, zinc is in a powdered form and mixed with potassium hydroxide contained in a steel case. Alkaline batteries are small and more useful in small devices. Section 20-2

  24. Dry Cells (cont.) Silver batteries are similar to alkaline but smaller. Section 20-2

  25. Dry Cells (cont.) Primary batteries produce electric energy by means of redox reaction that are not easily reversed. Secondary batteriesdepend on reversible redox reactions and are rechargeable. Section 20-2

  26. Lead-Acid Storage Battery Lead-acid storage batteries are common in automobiles. The electrolyte solution is sulfuric acid, hence the name. The anode consists of grids of porous lead. The cathode consists of lead grids filled with lead(IV) oxide. Section 20-2

  27. Lithium Batteries Lithium is the lightest known metal and has the lowest standard reduction potential of the metallic elements. Lithium batteries can be either primary or secondary. Section 20-2

  28. Fuel Cells A fuel cell is a voltaic cell in which the oxidation of a fuel is used to produce electric energy. Section 20-2

  29. Fuel Cells (cont.) How a fuel cell works • Potassium hydroxide is often the electrolyte. • The oxidation half reaction 2H2(g) + 4OH– → 4H2O + 4e– • The reduction half reaction O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e– → 4OH–(aq) • When combined, the equation is the same as burning hydrogen in oxygen to form water. Section 20-2

  30. Corrosion Corrosionis the loss of metal resulting from an oxidation-reduction reaction of the metal with substances in the environment. • Rusting begins in a chip or pit in the iron surface, which become the anode. Fe(s) → Fe2+(aq) + 2e– • Iron(II) becomes part of the water solution. Section 20-2

  31. Corrosion (cont.) The cathode is usually at the edge of the water drop where water, iron, and air come into contact. The reduction reaction is O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e– → 2H2O(l). Next the oxidation 4Fe2+(aq) + 2O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e– → 2Fe2O3(s) + 4H+. Rusting is slow, but salts speed the process. Section 20-2

  32. Corrosion (cont.) Section 20-2

  33. Corrosion (cont.) Paint and other covers seal out moisture to prevent corrosion. Blocks of metal that are more easily oxidized than steel, such as magnesium, aluminum, or titanium, are often attached to the hulls of ships—they corrode while the iron in the hull is protected. Section 20-2

  34. Corrosion (cont.) Galvanization is the process of coating iron with a layer or zinc. Zinc oxidizes at the surface, creating a layer of metal-oxide that protects from further corrosion. Section 20-2

  49. Section 20.1 Voltaic Cells Key Concepts In a voltaic cell, oxidation and reduction take place at electrodes separated from each other. The standard potential of a half-cell reaction is its voltage when paired with a standard hydrogen electrode under standard conditions. The reduction potential of a half-cell is negative if it undergoes oxidation when connected to a standard hydrogen electrode. The reduction potential of a half-cell is positive if it undergoes reduction when connected to a standard hydrogen electrode. Study Guide 1
