Chapter 20 Flashcards
Charge (Q) is measured in
Coulombs
Faradays constant=
Avogadros times electron charge
Amperes is equal to
1 C/s
Potential
the potential energy of a unit charge at a particular point in a circuit
defined as the potential energy involved in moving a charge of 1 C to that point from
infinity (difficult to measure
Potential difference is the same as :
Voltage
Voltage is defined as :
1J of work required to move 1 C
R(Resistence)
obstruction of current flow
Ohm’s law
V=I
Ohm’s law is an approximation/always accurate
an approximation
C Capacitance
tendency of a device with two conductors separated by an insulator to absorb
charge when the voltage between the conductors is changed.units of FArads
system that incorporates
a redox reaction to produce or utilize electrical
energy.
Electrochemical cell
does work by releasing energy from a spontaneous
reaction to produce electricity : ____
voltaic cell
does work by absorbing energy from a source of electricity
to drive a nonspontaneous reaction: _____
electrolytic cell
Sum of ox states for all atoms in a neutral formula is zero
absorb
Sum of ox states of all atoms in polyatomic ion = ion charge.
absorb
Oxidation priority trends with ______
electronegativity
The oxidizing agent is the species that gets ______
reduced
The reducing agent is the species that gets _________
oxidized
The total number of electrons gained by atoms/ions of
the oxidizing agent always equals the total number of
electrons lost by the atoms/ions of the reducing agent.

Cr2O72−(aq) + Zn(s) -> Cr3+(aq) + Zn2+(aq) (acidic) balance bitch!
14H+ +Cr2O7 2- +3Zn -> 3Zn 2+ +7 H2O
MnO4−(aq) + Br−(aq)-> MnO2(s) + BrO3−(aq) (basic)
H2O + 2 MnO4− + Br−-> 2MnO2 + BrO3− + 2OH−
In these cells its necessary to Physically separate the reduction
from the oxidation
Voltaic
In the cell, electrons
leave the anode and
flow through the wire to
the cathode.Which cell?
Voltaic cell
As the electrons leave the anode, the cations formed dissolve into the solution in the anode compartment.
Voltaic cell
