Key Topics to Revise
1
Electrochemical Cells and EMF
- Galvanic/Voltaic cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy spontaneously
- Electrolytic cells use electrical energy to drive non-spontaneous chemical reactions
- Daniell cell: Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s), E°cell = 1.1 V
2
Standard Electrode Potentials and Electrochemical Series
- Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE): 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂, E° = 0.00 V at 298 K
- Electrochemical series arranges elements by increasing reduction potential
- Higher reduction potential = stronger oxidizing agent, weaker reducing agent
3
Nernst Equation
- Relates cell EMF to concentration of reactants and products
- At equilibrium, Ecell = 0 and reaction quotient equals Keq
- Temperature dependence of cell EMF can be calculated
4
Electrolysis and Faraday's Laws
- Electrolysis uses electrical energy to drive non-spontaneous reactions
- Products depend on electrode potentials, concentration, and overpotential
- Faraday's First Law: Amount deposited ∝ Quantity of electricity passed
