CHEM 1062 Study Guide - Ozone Depletion, Bauxite, Faraday Constant
Document Summary
Lab experiment: #16 (2 weeks: 4/23, 4/30) electrochemical cells. Use of standard reduction potentials to predict the spontaneous direction and cell potential; Relating the standard cell potential to go for the reaction and its equilibrium constant, k; Cell potentials under non-standard conditions and concentration cells; G (if negative) gives the maximum electrical work that the cell can provide; Batteries and fuel cells use spontaneous redox reactions to do electrical work; Corrosion (e. g. , rusting of iron) is an economically destructive spontaneous redox reaction. Electrolytic cells employ an external power supply to drive a nonspontaneous redox reaction; Relation between amounts of charge and product (e. g. , amount of metal collected). topics are organized in approximately the order in which we will cover them in lecture. Brackets [1, 2, 3] around sets of problems mean that they are similar. Underlined problems (with numbers in black in the text) are included in the student solutions.
