On the left
The electrode which reduction occurs is called
Where is it
Cathode
On the right
Electrons flow from where to where
Anode to cathode
Anions flow from the _____ to the _______
Cathode to the anode
Cations flow from ______ to the ______
Anode to the cathode
In NaCl what is the anions and what is the cations
Anions is Cl-
Cations are Na+
For a cell reaction to occur spontaneously what must be what
E ^cell must be positive
Cell potential is represented by
What else is it known as
Units are
E^cell
standard emf
volts
Formula for E^cell
Important note…
E^cathode - E^anode
DO NOT CHANGE SIGNS FROM TABLE
The half reactiopn with the smallest reduction potential is…
The most easily reversed
Becomes an oxidation reaction
The more positive (+) the E^red from the table…
The more likely the reactant will be reduced
Therefore oxidise another species
THE STRONGER IT IS AS AN OXIDISING AGENT
The more negative (-) the E^red from the table…
THE STRONGER IT IS AS A REDUCING AGENT
- = reducing
The formula for delta G using electrochem
Delta G = -nFE
What is the F constant
What is the R constant
96485 J/Vmol
8.314J/kmol
What is the other formula for Delta G using equilibrium constant
Delta G = -RTlnK
What is the formula for Ecell
Ecell = E^cell - 0.0592/n log(Q)
Which electrode is negative
Anode
What electrode is positive
Cathode
Lowest pH will contain…
The highest number of moles of H+ ions
What kind of acid will have the smallest Ka
The one with the highest pH
