reduction
the gain of electrons making that side of the equation more negative
oxidation
the loss of electrons making that side of the equation more positve
Battery parts
- ) anode- the place where the reaction starts and electrons are lost making an oxidation reaction
- ) cathode- from the load, electrons go to here and are gained creating a reduction reaction
- ) salt bridge- separates the cathode and anode, contains electrolytes, prevents build up of excess charges at the electrodes
S C lab
Series, positives, and negatives
- one path for electrons to travel (1 Xmas bulb goes out, all go out)
- Positive- safer, less current, costs less to make, easily turned off
- negative- one goes out then they all go out, more loads lowers current extremely
S C
Parallel, Positive, and Negative
- multiple pathways for the current to travel
- positive- one bulb goes out nothing happens to others ( One goes out, that is the only one that fails, better for Xmas
- negative- more current drained from power source, could blow fuse, reduces battery life
how are current and resistance related
inversely
Electroplating lab
Electroplating def
- a process of disposing a thin layer of fine and superior metal to a cheaper metal in order to look better, reduce corrosion, or to reduce rust or wear
3 things to remember while electroplating
- ) roughen surface to improve adhesion
- ) Anode (acting as a cathode) you use to plate, must already be in electrolytic bath(replenishing)
- ) object must be the anode so it can be reduced
Electroplating lab parts
- copper sulfate electrolytic bath(reduced and replenished)
- copper sheet (connected to the cathode (acts as the anode) or positive end of battery to be oxidized
- Spoon( connected to anode(acts as cathode) or negative end to be reduced
what will eventually happen to the cathode in the electroplating lab
ultimately the cathode(copper sheet acting as the anode)(being oxidized) will run out
What is ECM
Electrochemical Machining
What is ECM used for
- better detailed parts
- reverse of electroplating
Gold Rush Lab
things needed for reaction
- sodium chloride
- vinegar
- zinc chloride solution(to coat penny in silver)
- zinc (to coat penny silver
- Hot plate (turn silver into gold)
Silver color
after in ZnCl2, it is in gamma from of brass alloy (45% Zinc content
Gold color
after heated, it is the alpha form of Brass Alloy (35% Zinc Content)
what happens to the zinc in the gold rush lab
zinc migrates through metal
Silver mirror lab
materials
- ammonium nitrate solution
- silver nitrate solution
- sodium hydroxide
- Dextroxide
- Distilled water(to clean)
Steps in Silver Mirror Award lab
- ) mix Ammonium Nitrate solution and Silver nitrate solution, then add dextroxide and quickly add sodium hydroxide
- ) put stopper on then shake until a silver mirror-like formation appears on the walls
Silver Mirror Award Lab
process
- ) clean with acetone
- ) now steps
- ) body heat from head while shaking
- ) apply mirroring silver solution Ag not Ag+1
- ) remove excess chemicals by pouring and rinsing with distilled water
- ) prevent oxidation with a rubber stopper/could coat with clear nail polish
Silver Mirror Award Lab
Industrial Process
- ) clean with deionized water and cerium oxide
- ) improve adhesion by heating glass from 80-90 degreesand apply a thin layer of tin
- ) heat glass from 90-150 degrees
- ) apply mirroring silver solution Ag not Ag+1
- ) move excess chemicals via pressurized air and deionized water
- ) prevent oxidation of Ag by applying Cu solution and painting backside of mirror
what happens when silver is reduced
you could see the solution does color and eventually dispose or glass wall
Potato Clack Lab
2 meatls
- Zn- voltage (-.76)
- more reactive because lower voltage
- dissolves in electrolyte so Zn loses electrons- becomes negative terminal because electrons build up on Zn electrode
*Cu- voltage (.34)
-loses electrons to H+1 in electrolyte to produce hydrogen gas, becomes positive terminal
-potential difference is (1.1)
^more cells add voltage
Electrolyte of Potato lab
- Potato “juice” aqueous solution
- lemon- citric acid- H+1
10 things that use electroplating
- ) manufacture mirrors- play with silver
- ) jewelry and watch cases- silver or gold plated
- ) silverware- silver plating
- ) machinery- strengthen flexible materials like steel using (chromium, nickel, copper)
- ) steel cans- plated with tin for better storage
- ) truck bumpers- strengthen flexible materials like steel using (chromium, nickel, copper)
- ) Decorative hubcaps- chrome or nickel plating
- ) appliances- decorative handles are nickel or chromium plated
- ) Create alloy ESP brass- easier than mixing molten metals copper/zinc plating
- ) Electronics- to carry color and/or for corrosion resistanec using nickel plating
