1 Chapter 20 Electrochemistry Electrochemistry deals with the relationships between electricity and chemical reactions. Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions were introduced in Chapter 4 Can be simple displacement reactions: Zn(s) + Cu 2+ (aq) Zn 2+ (aq) + Cu(s) Cu(s) + 2Ag + (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) + 2Ag(s) 20.1 Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Redox reactions can also be more complex, with structural and composition changes as well as an exchange of electrons. 5VO 2+ (aq) + MnO 4 - (aq) + H 2 O(l) 5VO 2 + (aq) + Mn 2+ (aq) + 2H + (aq) 5Fe 2+ (aq) + MnO 4 - (aq) + 8H + (aq) 5Fe 3+ (aq) + Mn 2+ (aq) + 4H 2 O(l) Oxidation and Reduction You can t have one without the other! Oxidation Decrease in number of electrons (loss of electrons) Increase in oxidation number Oxidation number: Increase in number of electrons (gain of electrons) Decrease in oxidation number Reduction Half-Reactions Oxidation-reduction reactions can be written as separate oxidation and reduction reactions, called half-reactions. Oxidation: VO 2+ (aq) + H 2 O(l) VO 2 + (aq) + 2H + (aq) + e - VO 2+ is called the reducing agent (or reductant), because it causes the reduction of another substance; the reducing agent is oxidized in the process Reduction: MnO 4 - (aq) + 8H + (aq) + 5e - Mn 2+ (aq) + 4H 2 O(l) MnO 4 - is called the oxidizing agent (or oxidant), because it causes the oxidation of another substance; the oxidizing agent is reduced in the process Oxidation-reduction can be considered to be the competition between two substances for electrons. The one with the greater attraction for additional electrons becomes the oxidizing agent; the one with the least is the reducing agent. 20-1
2 Spontaneous Oxidation-Reduction Reactions If we place a metal in a solution of another metal ion, sometimes we get metal deposition, sometimes not. How do we decide? Zn + Sn 2+ Zn 2+ + Sn Sn + Zn 2+ no rxn How do we know which substances will act as oxidizing agents or as reducing agents? An activity series gives the relative activity of substances as oxidizing or reducing agents. Review from Chapter 4. Determine an activity series in several ways: activity in displacing H 2 from water activity in displacing metals from metal ion solutions (more active metal displaces a less active metal from solution) generation of an electrochemical potential or voltage Spontaneous Redox Na displaces H 2 from H 2 O Zn displaces Pb from a solution of Pb 2+ Pb + 2Ag + Pb Ag Ag + Pb 2+ no rxn The reverse reactions can be made to occur with electric current, but they are not spontaneous. General rule, using an activity series: stronger stronger weaker weaker oxidizing + reducing reducing + oxidizing agent agent agent agent Depending on the relative strengths, the reaction can go to completion, or reach a state of equilibrium. Activity Series 20-2
3 Predict which of the following combinations will undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction: Mg + K + Mg + Zn 2+ H 2 + Ni 2+ H 2 + Cu Balancing Oxidation-Reduction Equations Some redox equations can be balanced by inspection, just like other types of reactions. Zn + CuCl 2 ZnCl 2 + Cu Net ionic equation: Zn + Cu 2+ Zn 2+ + Cu Need to balance atoms and charge What is wrong with the following? Al + Cu 2+ Al 3+ + Cu Balancing Equations 5Cr MnO H 2 O 5CrO Mn H + How do we balance an equation as complex as this? Two methods: half-reaction method oxidation number change method Will focus on the half-reaction method since it is useful in more circumstances. Half-Reaction Method Write an unbalanced half-reaction for either oxidation or reduction. Balance the half-reaction: a. Balance all atoms other than H and O. b. Balance O by adding H 2 O to the equation. c. Balance H by adding H + to the equation. d. Balance ionic charges by adding electrons to the equation. e. If in basic solution, add OH - to each side of the equation to neutralize all the H +. f. Cancel any H 2 O occurring on both sides. Write an unbalanced half-reaction for the other process. Balance by the same procedure. Equalize the number of electrons lost and gained by multiplying each coefficient in each half-reaction by the appropriate constant. Add the two half-reactions and cancel equal amounts of anything occurring on both sides. Make a final check of atom and charge balances. Balancing Equations Cr 3+ + MnO - 4 CrO Mn 2+ How do we balance this equation in acidic solution? 1. Cr CrO 4 2a. Cr already balanced 2b. Cr H 2 O CrO 4 2c. Cr H 2 O CrO H
4 2d. Cr H 2 O CrO H + + 3e - 3. MnO 4 - Mn 2+ 4a. Mn already balanced 4b. MnO 4 - Mn H 2 O 4c. MnO H + Mn H 2 O 4d. MnO H + + 5e - Mn H 2 O 5. 3 e - lost, but 5 e - gained. Equalize by multiplying half-reactions: 5(Cr H 2 O CrO H + + 3e - ) 3(MnO H + + 5e - Mn H 2 O) 5Cr H 2 O 5CrO H e - 3MnO H e - 3Mn H 2 O 6. Add the equations: 5Cr MnO H 2 O + 24H e - 5CrO Mn H 2 O + 40H e - Cancel any substances on both sides of the equation: 5Cr MnO H 2 O 5CrO Mn H + 7. Check atom and charge balance: 5 Cr, 3 Mn, 20 O, 16 H, 12 + charges on each side Balancing Equations in Basic Solution Neutralize any H + with OH - to form H 2 O and add the same number of OH - to the other side of the equation. Cr H 2 O CrO H + + 3e - Add 8OH - to each side of the equation: Cr H 2 O + 8OH - CrO H + + 8OH - + 3e - Form water by neutralization: Cr H 2 O + 8OH - CrO H 2 O + 3e - Cancel any water occurring on both sides: Cr OH - CrO H 2 O + 3e - Balance the following equation in acidic solution: MnO Cl - Mn 2+ + ClO Voltaic Cells Voltaic (or galvanic) cells: spontaneous redox electricity (or electrical work) Electrolysis cells: electricity redox To produce electricity, we must direct the electron flow through an external circuit. We cannot have direct redox. Daniell cell: Zn - Cu Voltaic Cells To produce electricity, we need: Isolated half-reactions, using half-cells Conductive solids (electrodes) connected by external circuits May consist of a reactant/product or be an inert substance such as platinum or graphite Anode: oxidation half-reaction 20-4
5 Cathode: reduction half-reaction Externally, the anode has the negative charge; internally, it has a positive charge) Anions flow towards the anode; cations move away from it and towards the cathode. Two half-cells must be connected to pass ions Salt bridge or porous glass 20.4 Cell EMF If the half-reactions are carried out separately (but coupled), we find they generate an electrical current characterized by a voltage (or electromotive force or electrical potential). This is the force pushing electrons through the circuit. The voltage produced by a voltaic cell is called the cell potential, E o cell (also the reaction potential, E o rxn, when the half-reactions are not separated) The voltage is called the standard electromotive force (emf), E o, under standard conditions. Electromotive Force E o cell = E o ox + E o red Values are determined relative to the standard hydrogen electrode, with E o = 0 V E o red = emf for the reduction half-rxn E o ox = emf for the oxidation half-rxn E o cell = E o red + E o ox We can only measure E o cell, so we must define a standard reference to get E o ox and E o red. E o Values Reference for E o is the standard hydrogen electrode, using the reaction: 2H + (aq) + 2e - H 2 (g) E o = 0 1 M 1 atm (std conditions) Cell Potential Other values are then measured from E o cell with the standard hydrogen electrode or with other known half-cells. AgCl + e - Ag + Cl - E o = 0.22 V Hg 2 Cl 2 + 2e - 2Hg + 2Cl - E o = V Half-cells such as these are used as reference electrodes. The Ag/AgCl electrode, along with a glass electrode, is used in a ph meter. E o Values Then get other half-reaction potentials from measured E o cell values. Zn + 2H + Zn 2+ + H 2 E o cell = 0.76 V Zn Zn e - E o ox = 0.76 V since E o red = 0.00 V Reference to Hydrogen Electrode The E o of the hydrogen electrode is defined as 0.00 V. What would be the values of E o for other half-reactions if this were defined as 1.00 V? The E o of the hydrogen electrode is defined as 0.00 V. What would be the values of E o for other half-reactions if this were defined as 1.00 V? 20-5
6 What would be the E o values of overall redox reactions if the reference were defined as 1.00 V? What would be the E o values of overall redox reactions if the reference were defined as 1.00 V? E o Values If we reverse a half-reaction, we change the sign of E o. Zn e - Zn E o red = V Measure a value of E o cell = 0.63 V for the following reaction. Zn + Pb 2+ Zn 2+ + Pb What is the E o red of Pb e - Pb? Zn Zn e - E o ox = 0.76 V Pb e - Pb E o red =? Zn + Pb 2+ Zn 2+ + Pb E o cell = 0.63 V E o cell = E o red + E o ox 0.63 V = E o red V E o red = 0.63 V V = V Values determined in this way are listed in Table 20.1 and Appendix E. Reduction Potentials 20.5 Spontaneity of Redox Reactions A redox reaction is spontaneous if E o rxn > 0. To determine spontaneity, add the two half-reactions and their E o values to see if E o rxn has a positive value. What will happen if we place a piece of Zn and a piece of Cu in a solution that contains a mixture of Zn 2+ and Cu 2+? 20-6
7 Two possibilities: Zn + Cu 2+ Zn 2+ + Cu Cu + Zn 2+ Cu 2+ + Zn Spontaneous Redox Two possible reduction half-reactions: Zn e - Zn E o red = V Cu e - Cu E o red = 0.34 V Two possible oxidation half-reactions: Zn Zn e - E o ox = 0.76 V Cu Cu e - E o ox = V Two ways to combine them: Zn e - Zn E o red = V Cu Cu e - E o ox = V Cu + Zn 2+ Cu 2+ + Zn E o rxn = V Two ways to combine them: Cu e - Cu E o red = 0.34 V Zn Zn e - E o ox = 0.76 V Zn + Cu 2+ Zn 2+ + Cu E o rxn = 1.10 V The combination with E o rxn > 0 is spontaneous. Predicting Reactions Vanadium Reduction Potentials: VO H + + e - VO 2+ + H 2 O E red = V VO H + + e - V 3+ + H 2 O E red = V V 3+ + e - V 2+ E red = V V e - V E red = V Chromium Reduction Potentials: Cr 2 O H + (aq) + 6e - 2Cr 3+ (aq) + 7H 2 O(l) E red = V Cr 3+ (aq) + e - Cr 2+ (aq) E red = V Cr 2+ (aq) + 2e - Cr(s) E red = V Manganese Reduction Potentials: MnO - 4 (aq) + e - MnO 2-4 (aq) E red = V MnO 2-4 (aq) + 4H + (aq) + 2e - MnO 2 (s) + 2H 2 O(l) E red = V MnO 2 (s) + 4H + (aq) + e - Mn 3+ (aq) + 2H 2 O(l) E red = V Mn 3+ (aq) + e - Mn 2+ (aq) E red = V Mn 2+ (aq) + 2e - Mn(s) E red = V Predicting Reactions Add excess Cr 2+ to VO + 2. What is the product? Cr 3+ (aq) + e - Cr 2+ (aq) E red = V Cr 2+ (aq) Cr 3+ (aq) + e - E ox = 0.41 V VO H + + e - VO 2+ + H 2 O E red = V VO H + + e - V 3+ + H 2 O E red = V 20-7
8 V 3+ + e - V 2+ E red = V V e - V E red = V Product is V 2+, because successive E o rxn = 1.41, 0.77, 0.15, V Predicting Reactions Add excess Cr to Cr 2 O 2-7. What is the product? Cr 2 O H + (aq) + 6e - 2Cr 3+ (aq) + 7H 2 O(l) E red = V Cr 3+ (aq) + e - Cr 2+ (aq) E red = V Cr 2+ (aq) + 2e - Cr(s) E red = V Product is Cr 2+ ; the successive values of E o rxn are 2.24 and 0.50 V. Predicting Reactions Add excess Cr 2+ to Cr 2 O 2-7. What is the product? Cr 2 O H + (aq) + 6e - 2Cr 3+ (aq) + 7H 2 O(l) Cr 3+ (aq) + e - Cr 2+ (aq) Cr 2+ (aq) + 2e - Cr(s) E red = V E red = V E red = V Predicting Reactions Add excess V 2+ to MnO - 4. What is the product? V 2+ V 3+ + e - E ox = 0.26 V MnO - 4 (aq) + e - MnO 2-4 (aq) E red = V MnO 2-4 (aq) + 4H + (aq) + 2e - MnO 2 (s) + 2H 2 O(l) E red = V MnO 2 (s) + 4H + (aq) + e - Mn 3+ (aq) + 2H 2 O(l) E red = V Mn 3+ (aq) + e - Mn 2+ (aq) E red = V Mn 2+ (aq) + 2e - Mn(s) E red = V Predicting Reactions Add Mn 2+ to MnO - 4. What is the product? MnO - 4 (aq) + e - MnO 2-4 (aq) MnO 2-4 (aq) + 4H + (aq) + 2e - MnO 2 (s) + 2H 2 O(l) MnO 2 (s) + 4H + (aq) + e - Mn 3+ (aq) + 2H 2 O(l) Mn 3+ (aq) + e - Mn 2+ (aq) Mn 2+ (aq) + 2e - Mn(s) E red = V E red = V E red = V E red = V E red = V Predict no reaction, but reaction actually occurs to form Mn 3+ or MnO 2. We will deal with this discrepancy in the next section. It arises from the fact that there are more half-reactions that could be considered, which arise from combinations of these half-reactions. Stability in Aqueous Systems Disproportionation Reactions A substance reacts with itself to form new substances with higher and lower oxidation numbers. No examples with V or Cr. MnO 2-4 will disproportionate: MnO - 4 (aq) + e - MnO 2-4 (aq) E red = V MnO 2-4 (aq) + 4H + (aq) + 2e - MnO 2 (s) + 2H 2 O(l) E red = V 20-8
9 3MnO H + 2MnO MnO 2 + 2H 2 O E o rxn = 1.70 V Stability in Aqueous Systems Mn 3+ will disproportionate: MnO 2 (s) + 4H + (aq) + e - Mn 3+ (aq) + 2H 2 O(l) E red = V Mn 3+ (aq) + e - Mn 2+ (aq) E red = V 2Mn H 2 O Mn 2+ + MnO 2 + 4H + E o rxn = 0.56 V Stability in Aqueous Systems Reaction with Water Reduce hydronium ion to release hydrogen gas: 2H + (aq) + 2e - H 2 (g) E red = V Any substance with E o ox > 0 will reduce H + to H 2 Examples are V, V 2+, Cr, Cr 2+, Mn The ions will react, but tend to react only very slowly. There seems to be a kinetic factor that results in a fast reaction only if E o rxn > V (called an overvoltage). Reaction with Water Oxidize water to release oxygen gas: 2H 2 O(l) O 2 (g) + 4H + (aq) + 4e - E ox = V Any E o red > 1.23 V will result in production of O 2. Generally need E o rxn > V for fast reaction. Examples are Cr 2 O 2-7 (very slow), MnO 2-4 (disproportionates faster), Mn 3+ (disproportionates faster) Stability in Aqueous Systems Oxidation by O 2 in Air O 2 (g) + 4H + (aq) + 4e - 2H 2 O(l) E red = 1.23 V Any E o ox > V will result in oxidation by air. Many substances fall into this category (E o rxn > V for fast reaction). V Cr Mn V 2+ Cr 2+ not Mn 2+ V 3+ not Cr 3+ Mn 3+ VO 2+ (very slow) not MnO 2 MnO 2-4 (disproportionates faster) EMF and Free Energy Change We have seen three criteria for spontaneity: E o > 0 G o < 0 1 J = 1 coul x 1 V K >> 1 These criteria are related: G o = -RT lnk G o = - nfe o, G = - nfe where n = number of e - transferred and F = Faraday constant (charge on 1 mole e - ) 1 F = 96,500 coul/mol e - = 96,500 J/V mol e
10 Thermodynamics These relationships work for half-reactions or complete redox reactions. Zn + Cu 2+ Zn 2+ + Cu E o = 1.10 n = 2 G o = -2mol e - x J/V mol e - x 1.10 V G o = -212,300 J = kj G o depends on the number of moles, but E o does not Voltage and Moles Note that different size alkaline cells all deliver the same voltage, in spite of different number of moles of reactants. Thermodynamics We can add E o ox to E o red to give E o cell or E o rxn in the same way that we can add half-reactions to give an overall reaction. Fe Fe e - E o ox = V G o ox = - 2 x x 0.44 = J Cl 2 + 2e - 2Cl - E o red = 1.36 V G o red = - 2 x x 1.36 = J Fe + Cl 2 Fe Cl - E o rxn = 1.80 V G o = - 2 x x 1.80 = J G o rxn = G o ox + G o red = = kj From Chapter 19, we know that G o values are additive when we add reactions. E o s are additive when we add half-reactions to give a complete reaction because the value of n is the same for the half-reactions and the complete reaction. E o s are not additive when adding two half-reactions to give a third half-reaction because the value of n is not constant. We can add G o under all circumstances: G o 3 = G o 1 + G o 2 -n 3 FE o 3 = -n 1 FE o 1 - n 2 FE o 2 n 3 E o 3 = n 1 E o 1 + n 2 E o 2 E o 3 = (n 1 E o 1 + n 2 E o 2)/n 3 V V e - E o 1 = 1.20 V V 2+ V 3+ + e - E o 2 = 0.26 V V V e - E o 3 < E o 3 = (2 x x 0.26)/3 = V Given the first two half-reactions, what is the value of E red for the third? MnO - 4 (aq) + e - MnO 2-4 (aq) E 1,red = V MnO 2-4 (aq) + 4H + (aq) + 2e - MnO 2 (s) + 2H 2 O(l) E 2.red = V MnO - 4 (aq) + 4H + (aq) + 3e - MnO 2 (s) + 2H 2 O(l) E 3,red =? E 3,red = 1.69 V This is why we could not make correct predictions for this system earlier
11 Thermodynamics We can calculate K eq from E o : G o = - nfe o = - RT ln K E o = (RT/nF) ln K = (RT/nF) log K At 25 o C, RT/F = E o = ( /n) log K at 25 o C Thus, we can measure E o for a redox reaction and then calculate the equilibrium constant for that reaction Effect of Concentraiton on Cell EMF So far, we have been using standard state conditions, but we don t always have 1 M solutions. We can correct E o to E by using the Nernst equation. G = G o + RT ln Q But, G = - nfe and G o = -nfe o, so - nfe = -nfe o RT log Q E = E o - (2.303 RT/nF) log Q At 25 o C, E = E o - ( /n) log Q Nernst Equation At 25 o C, E = E o - ( /n) log Q E = E o if Q = 1 When the system reaches equilibrium, Q = K, and E = 0, because E o = ( /n) log K, and the cell has run down. Consider the Zn/Cu 2+ reaction if more Cu 2+ is added to the cell. The voltage becomes greater than 1.10 V. What is E of the Zn/Cu 2+ reaction if [Cu 2+ ] = M and [Zn 2+ ] =1.99 M? Note that this corresponds to starting with standard conditions and changing to 99% completion of reaction. E o = 1.10 V (with [Cu 2+ ] = [Zn 2+ ] = 1.00 M) Zn + Cu 2+ Zn 2+ + Cu For this reaction, n = 2. Q = [Zn 2+ ]/[Cu 2+ ] E = E o - ( /n) log Q E = 1.10 V - ( /2) log (1.99/0.010) E = 1.10 V - ( /2) log 199 E = = 1.03 V For 99.9% reaction (1.999 M Zn 2+, M Cu 2+ ), E = = 1.00 V For 99.99% reaction, M Zn 2+, M Cu 2+ ), E = = 0.97 V Concentration Cells We can generate a voltage with a cell that contains the same materials in the cathode and anode compartments, but at different concentrations Batteries (Voltaic Cells) Voltaic cells are used as portable electricity sources. one unit = cell 20-11
12 several cells = battery Commercial cells: Anode: usually a metal that can be oxidized Cathode: usually an inert conductor surrounded by a substance with a high oxidation number that can be reduced Electrolyte: aqueous solution or moist paste for ion movement Electrolytes: acidic, alkaline, organic liquid, molten salt, solid state Primary cells: one use, then discard Secondary cells: rechargeable, reusable Consider some commercial cells and batteries What are the anode and cathode? What is used as an electrolyte? What half-reactions are used? What voltage is generated? LeClanche Dry Cell Used in flashlight batteries. Electrolyte is NH 4 Cl Zn Zn e - E o = V 2MnO 2 + 2NH H 2 O + 2e - 2NH 4 OH + 2MnO(OH) E o = 0.5 V Zn + 2MnO 2 + 2NH H 2 O Zn NH 4 OH + 2MnO(OH) E o = 1.26 V The measured voltage is actually 1.5 V, because concentrations are higher than standard state concentrations. Alkaline Dry Cell Electrolyte is KOH Zn + 2OH - ZnO + H 2 O + 2e - 2MnO 2 + H 2 O + 2e - 2OH - + Mn 2 O 3 Zn + 2MnO 2 ZnO + Mn 2 O 3 E = 1.5 V Reactions are similar to the acidic dry cell Can be recharged a few times Lead Storage Battery Used in automobiles PbO 2 + 4H + + SO e - PbSO 4 + 2H 2 O E o = 1.69 V Pb + SO 2-4 PbSO 4 + 2e - E o = 0.35 v Pb + PbO 2 + 2SO H + 2PbSO 4 + 2H 2 O E o = 2.04 V With 6 M H 2 SO 4, the cell produces 2.0 V; the voltage decreases as the cell reactions occur. Six cells connected in series makes up the common 12 V car battery. Can be recharged: 2PbSO 4 + 2H 2 O Pb + PbO 2 + 2SO H + Must pass 2 V per cell back through the battery to recharge. Rapid recharging can electrolyze the acid, producing hydrogen gas, which might explode, or which can dislodge the lead oxide or sulfate, which shortens the battery life
13 NiCad Cell Used in rechargeable power tools. Rechargeable because the reaction products stick to the electrodes. Cd + 2OH - Cd(OH) 2 + 2e - E o = 0.81 V NiO 2 (on Ni) + 2H 2 O + 2e - Ni(OH) 2 + 2OH - E o = 0.49 V Cd + NiO 2 + 2H 2 O Cd(OH) 2 + Ni(OH) 2 E o = 1.30 V Silver Cell Used in cameras, watches, hearing aids Electrolyte is 20-40% KOH Zn + 2OH - ZnO + H 2 O + 2e - E o = 1.25 V 2AgO + H 2 O + 2e - Ag 2 O + 2OH - E o = 0.61 V Zn + 2AgO + H 2 O Zn(OH) 2 + Ag 2 O E o = 1.86 V Rechargeable if don t pass this point. After the AgO is depleted: Zn + Ag 2 O + H 2 O Zn(OH) 2 + 2Ag E o = 1.58 V Fuel Cell Used for space travel, and in new hydrogen fuel automobiles Reactants are stored external to the cell and introduced to the electrodes as they are needed. The reactants are usually gaseous, such as O 2 and H 2, or O 2 and CH 4, or O 2 and NH 3. O 2 + 2H 2 O + 4e - 4OH - E o = 0.40 V 2H 2 + 4OH - 4H 2 O + 4e - E o = 0.83 V 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O E o = 1.23 V Recent development uses butane 20.8 Corrosion Corrosion of Iron Since E red (Fe 2+ ) < E red (O 2 ) iron can be oxidized by oxygen. Cathode: O 2 (g) + 4H + (aq) + 4e - 2H 2 O(l). Anode: Fe(s) Fe 2+ (aq) + 2e -. Dissolved oxygen in water usually causes the oxidation of iron. Fe 2+ initially formed can be further oxidized to Fe 3+ which forms rust, Fe 2 O 3.xH 2 O(s). Oxidation occurs at the site with the greatest concentration of O 2. Preventing the Corrosion of Iron Corrosion can be prevented by coating the iron with paint or another metal. Galvanized iron is coated with a thin layer of zinc. Zinc protects the iron since Zn is the anode and Fe the cathode: Zn 2+ (aq) +2e - Zn(s), E red = V Fe 2+ (aq) + 2e - Fe(s), E red = V With the above standard reduction potentials, Zn is easier to oxidize than Fe. To protect underground pipelines, a sacrificial anode is added. The water pipe is turned into the cathode and an active metal is used as the anode. Often, Mg is used as the sacrificial anode: 20-13
14 Mg 2+ (aq) +2e - Mg(s), E red = V Fe 2+ (aq) + 2e - Fe(s), E red = V Also used in water heaters, on gasoline storage tanks, and on ship hulls 20.9 Electrolysis Since chemical oxidation-reduction involves the transfer of electrons from one substance to another, it should be possible to harness the flow of electrons to produce electricity. We do this with voltaic cells. Electricity can also be used to cause non-spontaneous chemical reactions. This process is called electrolysis. Electrolytic Processes with Metals A variety of metals can be prepared by electrolysis, if a cheap source of electricity is available. In addition, some metals* are purified by electrolysis. aluminum cadmium calcium copper* gold* lead* magnesium sodium zinc Purification of Copper Recovered from its ores by chemical reduction. Purified by electrolysis. Recover impurities: Mo (25%) Se (93%) Te (96%) Au (32%) Ag (28%) Production of Aluminum Recovered as Al 2 O 3. nh 2 O from clays and bauxite. The oxide is difficult to reduce. The metal forms a protective coating of the oxide. Al is very active but can be used in air because of the oxide coating. The oxide coating can be thickened and colored by anodizing. Electrolysis of Al 2 O 3 (melts at 2045 o C) dissolved in cryolite, Na 3 AlF 6 (melts at 1000 o C). Uses 5% of U.S. electricity production Electrolysis Electrolysis is used for isolating active elements, purifying metals, and electroplating. Pure compounds: H 2 O, molten salts Use inert electrodes in the liquid and pass electricity through the system The negative electrode (cathode) attracts cations; reduction occurs. The positive electrode (anode) attracts anions; oxidation occurs
15 Electrolysis of NaCl Cathode: Na + (l) + e - Na(l) E o = V Anode: 2Cl - (l) Cl 2 (g)+ 2e - E o = V 2Na + (l) + 2Cl - (l) 2Na(l) + Cl 2 (g) E o = V Must supply at least 4.08 V to electrolyze molten sodium chloride. NaCl melts at 804 o C, where Na vaporizes and burns. Lower the temperature by adding CaCl 2. (Why does this work?) Na reacts with Cl 2, even at room temperature. Commercial operations use a Downs Cell. How does the Downs Cell solve the problem of reaction between Na and Cl 2? Electrolysis of H 2 O Cathode: 2H 2 O + 2e - H 2 (g) + 2OH - E o = V at ph 14, V at ph 7, 0.00 V at ph 0 Anode: 2H 2 O O 2 (g) + 4H + + 4e - E o = V at ph 14, V at ph 7, V at ph 0 2H 2 O 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) E o = V at any ph Must supply at least 1.23 V to electrolyze water. Add an electrolyte to increase electrical conductivity Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions Products depend on whether it is easier to oxidize or reduce the dissolved ions or water.
