Document Summary

Balancing redox reactions in acid or base solutions. Standard reduction potentials direction of redox reactions calculation of cell potentials. Applications batteries lead acid corrosion criterion for reaction concentration cells. Redox rxns involve a transfer of electrons eg. zn(s) + cu2+(aq) zn2+(aq) + cu(s) 2 e s transfered. Yes, but we must physically separate the oxidation and reduction half-reactions - an electrochemical cell uses the natural direction of a chemical reaction to generate useful electricity. There is an electric potential difference a voltage - measured in volts. Potential difference = work done on unit charge upon. 1 j = completing one passage around circuit. A chemical driving force - zn atoms get oxidized while cu2+ gets reduced a favorable chemical reaction. The resulting cell potential, ecell , depends on t & the concentration of aqueous species: if there are gases involved in the cell reaction, the gas partial pressures affect the cell potential.
