20.1 Oxidation States and Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
• Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with relationships between electricity and chemical reactions
• Chemical reactions in which the oxidation state of one or more substances change are called oxidation-reduction reactions (redox reactions). Recall:
– Oxidation involves loss of electrons (OIL).
– Reduction involves gain of electrons (RIG).
Also:
– Oxidation involves an increase of an oxidation number.
– Reduction involves a decrease of an oxidation number.

Oxidation Numbers
In order to keep track of what loses electrons and what gains them, we assign oxidation numbers.

Oxidation and Reduction
• A species is oxidized when it loses electrons.– Here, zinc loses two electrons to go from neutral
zinc metal to the Zn2+ ion.
• A species is reduced when it gains electrons.– Here, each of the H+ gains an electron, and they
combine to form H2.

Oxidation and Reduction
• What is reduced is the oxidizing agent.– H+ oxidizes Zn by taking electrons from it.
• What is oxidized is the reducing agent.– Zn reduces H+ by giving it electrons.

Sample Exercise 20.1 Identifying Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
Solution
The oxidation state of Cd increases from 0 to +2, and that of Ni decreases from +4 to +2. Thus, the Cd atom is oxidized (loses electrons) and is the reducing agent. The oxidation state of Ni decreases as NiO2 is converted into Ni(OH)2. Thus, NiO2 is reduced (gains electrons) and is the oxidizing agent.
The nickel-cadmium (nicad) battery uses the following redox reaction to generate electricity:Cd(s) + NiO2(s) + 2 H2O(l) Cd(OH)2(s) + Ni(OH)2(s)
Identify the substances that are oxidized and reduced, and indicate which is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent.
Practice ExerciseIdentify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the reaction
2 H2O(l) + Al(s) + MnO4(aq) Al(OH)4
(aq) + MnO2(s)
Answer: Al(s) is the reducing agent; MnO4 is the oxidizing agent.

20.2 Balancing Redox Equations
• Recall the law of conservation of mass: The amount of each element present at the beginning of the reaction must be present at the end.
• Conservation of charge: Electrons are not lost in a chemical reaction.
• Some redox equations may be easily balanced by inspection.– However, for many redox reactions we need to look
carefully at the transfer of electrons.

The Half-Reaction Method
1. Assign oxidation numbers to determine what is oxidized and what is reduced.
2. Write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions.
3. Balance each half-reaction.a. Balance elements other than H and O.
b. Balance O by adding H2O.
c. Balance H by adding H+.
d. Balance charge by adding electrons.
4. Multiply the half-reactions by integers so that the electrons gained and lost are the same.
5. Add the half-reactions, subtracting things that appear on both sides.
6. Make sure the equation is balanced according to mass.7. Make sure the equation is balanced according to charge.

Balancing in Basic Solution
• If a reaction occurs in a basic solution, one can balance it as if it occurred in acid.
• Once the equation is balanced, add OH
to each side to “neutralize” the H+ in the equation and create water in its place.
• If this produces water on both sides, you might have to subtract water from each side.

• We can use that energy to do work if we make the electrons flow through an external device.
• We call such a setup a voltaic cell.

Voltaic Cells
• Once even one electron flows from the anode to the cathode, the charges in each beaker would not be balanced and the flow of electrons would stop.
• Therefore, we use a salt bridge, usually a U-shaped tube that contains a salt solution, to keep the charges balanced.– Cations move toward the
cathode.
– Anions move toward the anode.

• In the cell, then, electrons leave the anode and flow through the wire to the cathode.
• As the electrons leave the anode, the cations formed dissolve into the solution in the anode compartment.
• As the electrons reach the cathode, cations in the cathode are attracted to the now negative cathode.
• The electrons are taken by the cation, and the neutral metal is deposited on the cathode.

20.4 Cell Potentials Under Standard Conditions
Electromotive Force (emf)
• Water only spontaneously flows one way in a waterfall.
• Likewise, electrons only spontaneously flow one way in a redox reaction—from higher to lower potential energy.

Electrochemistry
27
Electromotive Force (emf)
• The potential difference between the anode and cathode in a cell is called the electromotive force (emf).
• It is also called the cell potential and is designated Ecell.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
• Cell potential is measured in volts (V).
1 V = 1 JC

Standard Hydrogen Electrode
• Their values are referenced to a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE).
• By definition, the reduction potential for hydrogen is 0 V:
2 H+(aq, 1M) + 2e H2(g, 1 atm)

Standard Cell Potentials
The cell potential at standard conditions can be found through this equation:
Ecell = Ered (cathode) Ered (anode)
Because cell potential is based on the potential energy per unit of charge, it is an intensive property.

20.6 Cell Potentials Under Nonstandard Conditions
• A voltaic cell is functional until E = 0 at which point equilibrium has been reached.– The cell is then “dead.”
• The point at which E = 0 is determined by the concentrations of the species involved in the redox reaction.

Electrical Work
• Free energy is a measure of the maximum amount of useful work that can be obtained from a system.
– We know: G = wmax and G = -nFE
thus: wmax = -nFE
– If Ecell is positive, wmax will be negative.
• Work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Electrochemistry
54
Electrical Work
• The emf can be thought of as being a measure of the driving force for a redox process.– In an electrolytic cell an external source of energy is
required to force the reaction to proceed. : w = nFEexternal
– To drive the nonspontaneous reaction,
the external emf must be greater than Ecell.
– From physics we know that work is measured in units of watts: 1 W = 1 J/s
– Electric utilities use units of kilowatt-hours: kWh = 3.6 106 J.

: electrolytic cells.
• In both cells (voltaic and electrolytic)- reduction: cathode, oxidation: anode.- In electrolytic cells, electrons forced to flow from anode to cathode.thus, anode (positive terminal) cathode (negative).
- In voltaic cells, anode (negative ), cathode (positive).
