Topics in Electrochemistry

1

Electrochemical Cells

  • Electrochemical cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy (galvanic) or vice versa (electrolytic)
  • Daniell cell: Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s) produces 1.1V
  • Anode: electrode where oxidation occurs (negative in galvanic cells)
2

Nernst Equation

  • Relates cell potential to concentration of reactants and products
  • Temperature dependence of cell potential
  • For non-standard conditions, cell potential differs from standard potential
3

Gibbs Energy and Equilibrium Constant

  • Spontaneous reactions have negative ΔG and positive E°cell
  • Relationship between thermodynamics and electrochemistry
  • Equilibrium constant can be calculated from standard cell potential
4

Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions

  • Resistance (R) in ohms (Ω), Conductance (G) = 1/R in siemens (S)
  • Resistivity (ρ) and conductivity (κ) are material properties
  • Molar conductivity (Λm) accounts for concentration effects
