electrochemistry Flashcards
daniel cell
Zn-Cu
conditions for electrolyte used in salt bridge
- inert electrolyte 2. good ionic mobility 3. equal mobility
oxidation potential
tendency to lose e
more negative potential = more _ potential
oxdn
factors affecting electrode potential
- nature of metal and its ions 2. concentration of ions 3. temperature
Delta G formula
-nFdeltaV

nernst eq
E=Eo-0.059(logP/R)/n
equilibrium constant
Eoc×n/0.059
faraday law 1
m is directly proportional to Q
m=ZQ=Zit
Z=E/F
faraday law 2
m directly proportional to Eq Mass
product on electrolysis of molten nacl /inert electrodes
Na and Cl
on electrolysis of MgBr2 molten with Pt electrodes, brown vapours formed are of?
Br2
electrolyssi of Aq NaCl conc with Pt electrode
NaOH is left and Cl2 and H2 escape
product of electrolysis of dil nacl and anode cathode ions
Nacl gives Na and Cl
H2o gives H and Oh
Anode- OH (since conc more than cl) and Cathode- H
Aq Nacl with Hg as cathode, Pt as anode
at cathode, Hg and Na react to form sodium amalgan
anode- Cl oxidised
what happens on electrolysis of Aq Nacl with Aq electrodes
anode-Ag/Ag+
cathode-Ag+/Ag
gradually cathode becomes heavier and anode becomes lighter
what is aq Nacl with ag electrodes used fir
metal refining and electroplating
cell constant
l/A
conducivity formula
K=conductance×cell const
molar conductivity formula
K×1000/M
equivalent conductivity formula
K×1000/N
relation between eq and molar conductivity
molar/eq=X
how does dilution affect conductance, conductivity and molar/eq conductivities of electrolytes

dry cell/leclance cell electrodes
A- zinc, C- Graphite with MnO2+c powder
mercury cell
a- znhg amalgam, c- HgO and Cpaste
lead storage battery electrodes
A-zn, C- Pb grid packed with PbO2
fuel cells are
galvanic cells designed to convert energy of combustion of fuels into electrical energy
what is iron plated with to prevent corrosion
zinc
what acts as the catalyst during rusting
water
H2SO4 is consumed when lead storage battery is
discharged
in an electrolytic cell, current flows from
Cathode to anode
what is the cathode in a dry cell
carbon rod
in a leclanche cell, zn rod is placed in
20% NH4CL
