Gen Chem Thermochemistry and Electrochemistry Flashcards
1st law of thermodynamics
change in energy = difference of heat transfer in the system - work done
delta E= Q-W
Enthalpy equation
delta H= sum of Hf products - sum of Hf reactants
calorimetry equation
Q=mL
gibbs free energy equation
delta G= delta H-Tdelta S
what conditions are always spontaneous
- H, +S
what conditions are never spontaneous
+H, -S
what conditions are spontaneous at low temperature
- H, - S
what conditions are spontaneous at high temperature
+ H, +S
largest - E values indicate what about the reducing agent
strongest reducing agents
largest + E values indicate what about the oxidizing agent
strongest oxidizing agents
Emf eqn
Emf= E cathode- E Anode
are galvanic cells spontaneous or non spontaneous
spontaneous
are concentration cells spontaneous or non spontaneous
non-spontaneous
what occurs at the anode in an electrochemical cell ?
lose e-, oxidation
what occurs at the cathode in an electrochemical cell?
gain e-, reduction
Nernst equation
Ecell= Eocell - (RT/nF)(ln Q)
how many coloumbs = 1 faraday
96,500 C
kelvin to C
1 C= 273.13 K
what does a + Eo of a cell mean
the more + the E, the more spontaneous the reaction occurs
