2 Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Review of Terms Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions always involve a transfer of electrons from one species to another. Oxidation number - the charge the atom would have in a molecule (or an ionic compound) if electrons were completely transferred. An oxidizing agent is a species that oxidizes another species; it is itself reduced. A reducing agent is a species that reduces another species; it is itself oxidized. Half-reaction method method of balancing redox reactions based on separating the chemical process into the oxidation and reduction half reactions. 2
3 Oxidation number The charge the atom would have in a molecule (or an ionic compound) if electrons were completely transferred. 1. Free elements (uncombined state) have an oxidation number of zero. Na, Be, K, Pb, H 2, O 2, P 4 = 0 2. In monatomic ions, the oxidation number is equal to the charge on the ion. Li +, Li = +1; Fe 3+, Fe = +3; O 2-, O = The oxidation number of oxygen is usually 2. In H 2 O 2 and O 2 2- it is 1. 3
4 4. The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 except when it is bonded to metals in binary compounds. In these cases, its oxidation number is Group IA metal ions are always +1, IIA metal ions are always +2 and fluorine is always The sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in a molecule or ion is equal to the charge on the molecule or ion. Oxidation numbers of all the atoms in HCO 3-? HCO 3 - O = -2 H = +1 3(-2) + 1 +? = -1 C = +4 4

For each half reaction: a) Balance all the elements except H and O. b) Balance O using H 2 O. c) Balance H using H +. d) Balance the charge using electrons. 3. If necessary, multiply one or both balanced half reactions by an integer to equalize the number of electrons transferred in the two half reactions. 4. Add the half reactions, and cancel identical species. 5. Check that the elements and charges are balanced. 5

37 Electrochemistry Branch of chemistry that deals with the interconversion of electrical energy and chemical energy. 37
38 Electrochemical Cells An electrochemical cell is a system consisting of electrodes that dip into an electrolyte in which a chemical reaction either uses or generates an electric current. A voltaic, or galvanic, cell is an electrochemical cell in which a spontaneous redox reaction generates an electric current. An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell in which an electric current drives an otherwise nonspontaneous redox reaction. 38
39 Voltaic (Galvanic) Cell Consists of two half cells that are electrically connected. Each half cell is the portion of the electrochemical cell in which a half reaction takes place. Cells must also have an internal cell connection, such as a porous disk or a salt bridge, to allow ions to flow without extensive mixing of the solutions. Porous disk contains tiny passages that allow hindered flow of ions. Salt bridge contains a strong electrolyte held in a Jello like matrix. 39
40 Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell Half-Cells A simple half-cell can be made from a metal strip dipped into a solution of its metal ion: For example, the zinc-zinc ion half cell consists of a zinc strip dipped into a solution of a zinc salt. Another simple half-cell consists of a copper strip dipped into a solution of a copper salt. Because zinc has a greater tendency to lose electrons than copper, zinc atoms in the zinc electrode lose electrons to form zinc ions. The electrons flow through the external circuit to the copper electrode where copper ions gain the electrons to become copper metal 40
41 Atomic View of Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell 41
42 Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell Internal Connection The two half-cells must also be connected internally to allow ions to flow between them. Without this internal connection, too much positive charge builds up in the zinc half-cell (and too much negative charge in the copper half-cell) causing the reaction to stop. A salt bridge is a tube of an electrolyte in a gel that is connected to the two half-cells of a voltaic cell. The salt bridge allows the flow of ions but prevents the mixing of the different solutions that would allow direct reaction of the cell reactants. 42
43 Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell Half-Cell Reactions There are two half-cell reactions: 1) oxidation half-reaction: Zn (s) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2e The electrode at which oxidation takes place is called the anode. The anode in a voltaic cell has a negative sign because electrons flow from it. Note that electrons are given up at the anode and thus flow from it to the cathode where reduction occurs. 43
44 Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell Half-Cell Reactions There are two half-cell reactions: 2) reduction half-reaction: Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu (s) The electrode at which reduction takes place is called the cathode. The cathode in a voltaic cell has a positive sign. Note that electrons are given up at the anode and thus flow from it to the cathode where reduction occurs. 44
45 Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell Cell Reaction oxidation half-reaction: Zn (s) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2e reduction half-reaction: Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu (s) The sum of the two half-reactions: Zn (s) + Cu 2+ (aq) Zn 2+ (aq) + Cu (s) is the net reaction that occurs in the voltaic cell; it is called the cell reaction. 45
46 The electrode at which oxidation takes place is called the anode. The electrode at which reduction takes place is called the cathode. Electrons flow through the external circuit from the anode (zinc electrode) to the cathode (copper electrode). In the salt bridge, cations move toward the cathode and anions move toward the anode to maintain charge balance. 46
47 Galvanic Cells anode oxidation cathode reduction spontaneous redox reaction 47
48 Notation for Voltaic Cells Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell It is convenient to have a shorthand way of designating particular voltaic cells. The cell consisting of the zinc-zinc ion half-cell and the copper-copper ion half-cell, is written: 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) 48
49 Notation for Voltaic Cells Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell It is convenient to have a shorthand way of designating particular voltaic cells. The cell consisting of the zinc-zinc ion half-cell and the copper-copper ion half-cell, is written: anode 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) cathode The anode (oxidation half-cell) is written on the right. The cathode (reduction half-cell) is written on the left. 49
50 Notation for Voltaic Cells Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell It is convenient to have a shorthand way of designating particular voltaic cells. The cell consisting of the zinc-zinc ion half-cell and the copper-copper ion half-cell, is written: 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) The cell terminals are at the extreme ends in the cell notation. 50
51 Notation for Voltaic Cells Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell It is convenient to have a shorthand way of designating particular voltaic cells. The cell consisting of the zinc-zinc ion half-cell and the copper-copper ion half-cell, is written: 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) A single vertical bar indicates a phase boundary, such as between a solid terminal and the electrode solution. 51
52 Notation for Voltaic Cells Zinc/Copper Voltaic Cell It is convenient to have a shorthand way of designating particular voltaic cells. The cell consisting of the zinc-zinc ion half-cell and the copper-copper ion half-cell, is written: 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) salt bridge The two half-cells are connected by a salt bridge, denoted by two vertical bars. 52
53 Notation for Voltaic Cells Hydrogen Electrode When the half-reaction involves a gas, an inert material such as platinum serves as a terminal and an electrode surface on which the reaction occurs. For example, in the hydrogen electrode hydrogen bubbles over a platinum plate immersed in an acidic solution. The cathode half-reaction is: + 2 H (aq) + 2e H 2(g) 53
54 Notation for Voltaic Cells Hydrogen Electrode The notation for the hydrogen electrode, written as a cathode, is: + H (aq) H 2(g) Pt (s) To write such an electrode as an anode, you simply reverse the notation: + Pt (s) H 2(g) H (aq) 54
55 Notation for Voltaic Cells Complete Description To fully specify a voltaic cell, it is necessary to give the concentrations of solutions and the pressure of gases. In the cell notation, these are written in parentheses. For example zinc-hydrogen voltaic cell notation: Zn (s) หZn 2+ (aq) (1.0 M)ฮH + (aq) (1.0 M) H 2 g (1.0 atm) Pt (s) 55
56 A Problem To Consider Give the overall cell reaction for the voltaic cell: Cd (s) หCd 2+ (aq) (1.0 M)ฮH + (aq) (1.0 M) H 2 g (1.0 atm) Pt (s) oxidation half-reaction: Cd (s) Cd 2+ (aq) + 2e + reduction half-reaction: 2 H (aq) + 2e H 2(g) The sum of the two half-reactions: + Cd (s) + 2 H (aq) Cd 2+ (aq) + H 2(g) 56
57 Electromotive Force The movement of electrons is analogous to the pumping of water from one point to another. Water moves from a point of high pressure to a point of lower pressure. Thus, a pressure difference is required. The work expended in moving the water through a pipe depends on the volume of water and the pressure difference 57
58 Electromotive Force The movement of electrons is analogous to the pumping of water from one point to another. An electric charge moves from a point of high electrical potential (high electrical pressure) to one of lower electrical potential. The work expended in moving the electrical charge through a conductor depends on the amount of charge and the potential difference. 58
59 Electromotive Force Potential difference (emf)is the difference in electric potential (electrical pressure) between two points in the circuit: emf = potential difference (V) = work (J) charge (C) The volt, V, is the SI unit of electrical potential. It is equivalent to 1 joule of work produced or required when 1 coulomb of charge is transferred between two points in the circuit: 1 V = 1 J C 59
60 Voltaic Cell Potential The maximum potential difference between the electrodes of a voltaic cell is referred to as cell potential (E cell ), or the electromotive force (emf) of the cell. E cell = w q work charge When a cell produces current, the cell potential, E cell, is positive, and the current can be used to do work, w, outside of the system. Thus the cell potential, E cell, and work, w, have the opposite signs. 60
61 Voltaic Cell Potential The difference in electrical potential between the anode and cathode is called: cell voltage electromotive force (emf) cell potential All three terms are used interchangeably. Zn (s) Zn 2+ (1 M) Cu 2+ (1 M) Cu (s) anode cathode 61
62 Maximum Cell Potential The maximum work in a cell, w max, would be obtained at maximum potential, E max : w max = q E max Actual potential difference (voltage) across the electrodes is always less than the maximum possible voltage of the cell, because the flow of electrons reduces the electrical pressure. Thus, a cell voltage has its maximum value when no current flows. E max can be measured by an electronic digital voltmeter, which draws negligible current. 62
63 Maximum vs. Actual Work The maximum work in a cell, w max, would be obtained at maximum potential, E max : w max = q E max However, in any real spontaneous process the energy is always wasted. The actual work, w, is always less than the calculated maximum work, w max. Actual work w = q E Actual potential 63
64 Voltaic Cell Potential The Faraday constant, F, is the magnitude of charge on one mole of electrons: F = C = C Let n be the number of moles of electrons transferred in the overall cell reaction. Then the quantity of charge transferred (q) would be: q = n F Therefore, the maximum work attainable by a voltaic cell is: w max = n F E max 64
65 A Problem To Consider The emf of the electrochemical cell below is V. The overall cell reaction is: 2+ + Hg 2(aq) + H 2(g) 2 Hg (l) + 2 H (aq) a) What is the voltaic cell notation for this cell? b) Calculate the maximum electrical work of this cell when g H 2 is consumed. 65

The overall cell reaction is: 2+ + Hg 2(aq) + H 2(g) 2 Hg (l) + 2 H (aq) b) Calculate the maximum electrical work of this cell when g H 2 is consumed. To answer question b) we need to know how many moles of electrons were transferred when g H 2 is consumed. Stoichiometric calculation based on the oxidation half-reaction is required. + H 2(g) 2 H (aq) + 2e 67
68 18.6. (Continued) A Problem To Consider b) Calculate the maximum electrical work of this cell when g H 2 is consumed g x mol electrons + H 2(g) 2 H (aq) + 2e 1 mol 2.02 g/mol 2 mol electrons When g of H 2 is consumed x mol of electrons are transferred, when 2.02 g of H 2 is consumed 2 mol of electrons are transferred g H g H 2 = x 2 mol e x = g H 2 2 mol e 2.02 g H 2 = mol e 68
69 A Problem To Consider (Continued) b) Calculate the maximum electrical work of this cell when g H 2 is consumed. When g H 2 is consumed mol of electrons are transferred, therefore: w max = n F E max = mol e C V w max = J 69
70 Standard Cell emf s and Standard Electrode Potentials A cell emf is a measure of the driving force of the cell reaction. The reaction at the anode has a definite oxidation potential, while the reaction at the cathode has a definite reduction potential. Thus, the overall cell emf is a combination of these two potentials: E cell = E reduction + E oxidation 70
71 Standard Cell emf s and Standard Electrode Potentials A cell emf is a measure of the driving force of the cell reaction. A reduction potential is a measure of the tendency to gain electrons in the reduction half-reaction. The oxidation potential for an oxidation half-reaction is the negative of the reduction potential for the reverse reaction. You can look at the oxidation half-reaction as the reverse of a corresponding reduction reaction. 71
72 Standard Cell emf s and Standard Electrode Potentials Consider the zinc-copper cell described earlier: 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) oxidation half-reaction: Zn (s) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2e reduction half-reaction: Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu (s) The copper half-reaction is a reduction. Therefore, E Cu is the reduction potential of copper. 72
73 Standard Cell emf s and Standard Electrode Potentials Consider the zinc-copper cell described earlier: 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) oxidation half-reaction: Zn (s) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2e reduction half-reaction: Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu (s) The zinc half-reaction is an oxidation. If E Zn is the reduction potential of zinc, then E Zn is the oxidation potential of zinc. 73
74 Standard Cell emf s and Standard Electrode Potentials Consider the zinc-copper cell described earlier: 2+ Zn (s) Zn (aq) Cu 2+ (aq) Cu (s) For this cell, the cell emf is the sum of the reduction potential for the copper half-cell and the oxidation potential for the zinc half-cell: E cell = E reduction + E oxidation = E Cu + ( E Zn ) E cell = E Cu E Zn 74
75 Standard Cell emf s and Standard Electrode Potentials By convention, the Standard Electrode Potentials are tabulated as reduction potentials. In general, E cell is obtained by subtracting the anode potential from the cathode potential: E cell = E cathode E anode 75
76 Tabulating Standard Electrode Potentials o The standard cell emf, E cell, is the emf of a cell operating under standard conditions: temperature of 25 o C concentrations of all solutes are 1 M all gases are at 1 atm Note that individual electrode potentials require that we choose a reference electrode. You arbitrarily assign this reference electrode a potential of zero and obtain the potentials of the other electrodes by measuring the cell emf. 76
77 Tabulating Standard Electrode Potentials By convention, the reference chosen for comparing electrode potentials is the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). Standard electrode potentials are measured relative to this hydrogen reference. Reduction Reaction: 2 H + aq (1 M) + 2e H 2(g) (1 atm) E o = 0 V 77
78 Measuring Standard Electrode Potentials Emf of a cell composed of a zinc electrode connected to a hydrogen electrode, is measured to be 0.76 V. Anode (oxidation): Zn (s) Zn 2+ (aq) + 2e Cathode (reduction): + 2 H (aq) + 2e H 2(g) + Zn (s) + 2 H (aq) Cell reaction: Zn 2+ (aq) + H 2(g) Zn (s) หZn 2+ (aq) (1.0 M)ฮH + (aq) (1.0 M) H 2 g (1.0 atm) Pt (s) 78
79 Measuring Standard Electrode Potentials Since zinc acts as the anode (oxidation) in this cell, its reduction potential is listed as 0.76 V. o E cell o = E cathode o E anode o E cell o = E H + /H 2 o E Zn 2+ /Zn o V = 0 V E Zn 2+ /Zn o E Zn 2+ /Zn = V Zn (s) หZn 2+ (aq) (1.0 M)ฮH + (aq) (1.0 M) H 2 g (1.0 atm) Pt (s) 79
80 Measuring Standard Electrode Potentials Emf of a cell composed of a copper electrode connected to a hydrogen electrode, is measured to be 0.34 V. Anode (oxidation): + H 2(g) H (aq) + 2e Cathode (reduction): Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu (s) Cell reaction: Cu 2+ + (aq) + H 2(g) Cu (s) + 2 H (aq) Pt (s) H 2 g (1 atm) H + aq (1 M) Cu 2+ (aq) (1 M) Cu (s) 80
81 Measuring Standard Electrode Potentials Since copper acts as the cathode (reduction) in this cell, its reduction potential is listed as 0.34 V. o E cell o E cell o = E cathode o = E Cu 2+ /Cu o E anode o E H + /H 2 o V = E Cu 2+ /Cu 0 V o E Cu 2+ /Cu = V Pt (s) H 2 g (1 atm) H + aq (1 M) Cu 2+ (aq) (1 M) Cu (s) 81
82 Standard Electrode Potentials The electrode potential is an intensive property whose value is independent of the amount of species in the reaction. Thus, the electrode potential for the half-reaction: is the same as for: Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e Cu (s) 2 Cu 2+ (aq) + 4e 2 Cu (s) 82
83 Standard Reduction Potentials E o is given for the reduction half-reaction (as written) The more positive E o the greater the tendency for the substance to be reduced When half-reaction is reversed, the sign of E o is reversed When a half-reaction is multiplied by an integer, the value of E o remains the same A galvanic cell runs spontaneously in the direction that gives a positive E cell o 83

104 Dependence of emf on Concentration (Nernst Equation) o E cell = E cell n logq The Nernst equation illustrates why cell emf decreases as the cell reaction proceeds. As reactant concentrations decrease and product concentrations increase, Q increases, thus increasing log Q which in turn decreases the cell emf. 104

125 Corrosion Corrosion means the breaking down of essential properties in a material due to chemical reactions with its surroundings. In the most common use of the word, this means a loss of electrons of metals reacting with water and oxygen. For example, iron corrosion: + 2 Fe (s) + O 2(g) + 4 H (aq) 2 Fe 2+ aq + 2 H 2 O (l) 125
126 Cathodic Protection Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it work as a cathode of an electrochemical cell. This is achieved by connecting the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded "sacrificial metal" to act as the anode. Cathodic protection systems are most commonly used to protect steel, water or fuel pipelines and storage tanks, steel pier piles, ships, offshore oil platforms and onshore oil well casings. 126
127 Cathodic Protection of an Iron Storage Tank 127
128 For larger structures, galvanic anodes cannot economically deliver enough current to provide complete protection. Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems use anodes connected to a DC power source Anodes for ICCP systems are tubular and solid rod shapes or contiguous ribbons of various specialized materials. These include high silicone cast iron, graphite, mixed metal oxides, platinum and niobium coated wire and others. A cathodic protection retifier connected to a pipeline. 128
129 A typical ICCP system for a pipeline would include an AC powered rectifier with a maximum rated DC output of between 10 and 50 amperes and 50 volts. The positive DC output terminal is connected via cables to the array of anodes buried in the ground. For many applications the anodes are installed in a 60 m (200 ft) deep, 25 cm (10-inch) diameter vertical hole and backfilled with conductive coke (a material that improves the performance and life of the anodes). A cable rated for the expected current output connects the negative terminal of the rectifier to the pipeline. The operating output of the rectifier is adjusted to the optimum level after conducting various tests including measurements of electrochemical potential. A cathodic protection retifier connected to a pipeline. 129
130 Electrolytic Cells An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell in which an electric current drives an otherwise nonspontaneous redox reaction. The process of producing a chemical change in an electrolytic cell is called electrolysis. Anions are oxidized at the anode. Cations are reduced at the cathode. Many important substances, such as aluminum metal and chlorine gas are produced commercially by electrolysis. 130
131 Electrolysis of Water 131
132 Electrolysis of Molten Salts A Downs cell is a commercial electrochemical cell used to obtain sodium metal by electrolysis of molten NaCl. The half-reactions are: 2 Na + + 2e 2 Na (l) reduction 2 Cl Cl 2(g) + 2e (oxidation) Lithium, magnesium, and calcium metals are all obtained by the electrolysis of their molten salts, usually chlorides. 132
133 A Downs cell for the preparation of sodium metal. 133
134 Predicting Products of Electrolysis Electrode potentials can be used to predict the products of electrolysis. More easily oxidized species is oxidized at the anode. More easily reduced species is reduced at the cathode. We will look at three different types of electrolysis: Electrolysis of pure molten salts. Electrolysis of mixed molten salts. Electrolysis of aqueous ionic solutions. 134
135 Predicting Products of Electrolysis Electrolysis of pure molten salts The cation of the salt (metal ion) is reduced, producing a pure metal. The anion of the salt (usually halide) is oxidized, producing a non-metal element. For example, electrolysis of molten CaCl 2. The half-reactions are: Ca e Ca (l) cathode, reduction 2 Cl Cl 2(g) + 2e (anode, oxidation) The electrolysis products are Ca metal and Cl 2 gas. 135
136 Predicting Products of Electrolysis Electrolysis of mixed molten salts Standard potentials (given for aqueous reactions) cannot be used. However, knowledge of periodic atomic trends (electronegativity, etc.) is helpful. Metal with a higher electronegativity is less likely to give up its electrons. That metal cation gains electrons more easily (stronger oxidizing agent). Non-metal with a lower electronegativity is more likely to give up its electrons. That non-metal anion loses electrons more easily (stronger reducing agent). 136
137 Predicting Products of Electrolysis Electrolysis of mixed molten salts For example, electrolysis of molten NaBr and MgCl 2. The possible oxidizing species are Na + and Mg 2+. Mg is to the right of Na in the periodic table. Electronegativity of Mg is therefore higher. So Mg 2+ has a greater ability to attract electrons (stronger oxidizing agent) than Na +. Therefore Mg metal (not Na) will form on the cathode: Mg e Mg (l) The possible reducing species are Br and Cl. Br is lower than Cl in the periodic table. Electronegativity of Br is therefore lower. So Br has a greater ability to lose electrons (stronger reducing agent) than Cl. Therefore Br 2 (not Cl 2 ) will form on the anode: 2 Br Br 2(l) + 2e The electrolysis products are Mg metal and Br 2 gas. 137
138 Predicting Products of Electrolysis Electrolysis of aqueous ionic solutions Aqueous salt solutions are mixtures of ions and water. Electrolysis of water can occur instead of salt electrolysis. Electrolysis of water: Oxidation at the anode: + 2 H 2 O (l) O 2(g) + 4 H (aq) + 4e ; E o = 1.23 V, E = 0.82 V Reduction at the cathode: 2 H 2 O (l) + 2e H 2(g) + 2 OH (aq) ; E o = 0.83 V, E = 0.42 V Overvoltage: In order to produce H 2 and O 2 additional voltage ( V) is required. + 2 H 2 O (l) O 2(g) + 4 H (aq) + 4e ; E 1.4 V (with overvoltage) 2 H 2 O (l) + 2e H 2(g) + 2 OH (aq) ; E 1.0 V (with overvoltage) 138
139 Predicting Products of Electrolysis Electrolysis of aqueous ionic solutions Competing reactions: Oxidation at the anode: + oxidation of water: 2 H 2 O (l) O 2(g) + 4 H (aq) + 4e ; E = 0.82 V or oxidation of the anion present in the solution can occur. Cl, Br, I are oxidized. F and common oxyanions (NO 3, SO 4 2, CO 3 2, etc.) are NOT oxidized, water is oxidized to O 2 and H + instead. Reduction at the cathode: reduction of water: 2 H 2 O (l) + 2e H 2(g) + 2 OH (aq) ; E = 0.42 V or reduction of the cation present in the solution can occur. Cations of less active metals (E o > 0.00 V) are reduced. Cations of more active metals (E o < 0.00 V) are NOT reduced, water is reduced to H 2 and OH instead. 139
140 Predicting Products of Electrolysis Electrolysis of aqueous ionic solutions Commercial production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide from concentrated aqueous NaCl solution: Oxidation at the anode: 2 Cl (aq) Cl 2(g) + 2e ; E = 1.36 V + or: 2 H 2 O (l) O 2(g) + 4 H (aq) + 4e ; E = 0.82 V (1.4 V w/overvoltage). Cl is oxidized instead of water at the anode. Reduction at the cathode: + Na (aq) + 1e Na (l) ; E = 2.71 V or: 2 H 2 O (l) + 2e H 2(g) + 2 OH (aq) ; E = 0.42 V ( 1 V w/overvoltage). Water is reduced to H 2 and OH instead of Na + at the cathode. Products: H 2 forms on the cathode, Cl 2 forms on the anode, NaOH solution forms at the cathode. 140
141 Electroplating Electroplating is a process that uses electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a metal coating on an object. The object to be plated is the cathode of the circuit. The anode is usually made of the metal to be plated on the object. Both electrodes are immersed in a solution, containing one or more dissolved metal salts as well as other ions. 141
142 Stoichiometry of Electrolysis Electric current is measured in amperes. Ampere (A) is the base SI unit of current equivalent to 1 coulomb/second. The quantity of electric charge passing through a circuit in a given amount of time is given by the following equation: q = I t Electric (C) = electric (A or C/sec) time (sec) charge current Faraday constant = 96,500 C per 1 mole e - 142
