55Voltaic pileInvented by Alessandro Volta (1800) but the elements of the pile

(galvanic cells) were named after Galvani.

(salt water)

What are the combined half-reactions?

At the Tempio Voltiano (the Volta Temple)

near Volta's home in Como, Italy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaic_pile

Alessandro Volta(1745–1827)

from Wiki

Volta presenting his "Voltaic

Pile" to Napoleon and his

court… and now he is a Count!

Physicist

56Galvanic Cells

Physically separating the

half-reactions allows the

electrons to go over a

long distance, from the

anode to the cathode via

a (solid) conductor: basis

for conversion of chemical

energy into electricity =

“Electrochemistry” (2019)!

Salt bridge is an ionic conduit to

prevent buildup of charge in both

compartments and also to prevent

bulk mixing of the two solutions

Every non-equilibrium

cell is a galvanic cell (in

one direction, i.e. the

spontaneous direction)

57Electrolysis of water

Volta’s results were shared with

the scientific community and then,

boom, many people demonstrated

electrolysis the same year, and

later, electroplating!

Zn (s) Zn2+ (aq) + 2e– Cu2+ (aq) + 2e– Cu (s)

NET REACTION: Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

John Frederic Daniell(1790–1845)

from Wiki

No more H2 from the

(primary) battery!

Chemist, Meteorologist

59Voltage Produced by Galvanic Cells

The difference in electric

potential between the anode

and the cathode is called:

Cell potential

Cell voltage

emf (electromotive force)

Cell DiagramZn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Cu (s) + Zn2+ (aq)

[Cu2+] = 1 M and [Zn2+] = 1 M

Zn (s) | Zn2+ (aq, 1 M) || Cu2+ (aq, 1 M) | Cu (s)

anode cathodesalt bridge

This should be –0.76 V!(we will discuss this soon)

60EXAMPLE: What is the (standard) potential of a galvanic cell

consisting of a Cd electrode in a 1.0 M Cd(NO3)2 solution and a

Cr electrode in a 1.0 M Cr(NO3)3 solution?

Cd2+ (aq) + 2e– Cd (s) E0 = -0.40 V

Cr3+ (aq) + 3e– Cr (s) E0 = -0.74 V

Cd2+ will get reduced to Cd

Cr will get oxidized to Cr3+

… thus, it is reducing

2e– + Cd2+ (1 M) Cd (s)

Cr (s) Cr3+ (1 M) + 3e–Anode (oxidation):

Cathode (reduction):

2Cr (s) + 3Cd2+ (1 M) 3Cd (s) + 2Cr3+ (1 M)

x 2

x 3

E0 = Ecathode – Eanodecell0 0

E0 = -0.40 V – (-0.74 V) cell

E0 = +0.34 V (positive = spontaneous, since ∆𝐺 = −𝑛𝐹𝐸)cell

More negative of the two

Which half-reaction is reducing?

… if your answer is negative then you switched the anode/cathode in the galvanic cell

Based on our current sign convention, it is best

to only write reduction potentials; however, if

we lived in an oxidation-potential-centric world,

we could write them all (i.e. everything) as

oxidation potentials; simply put, it is best to

not mix the conventions and so stick with

reduction potentials

E0(Cu2+/0) = +0.34 V vs. SHE

E0(Cu0/2+) = –0.34 V vs. SHE

• Coulomb (in units of C = A·s) is the unit of charge (96,485 C are in a mole of singly charged species = Faraday constant, F ≈ 96,500 C/mol ≈ 105 C/mol)

• Electricity is the flow of current (A = C/s) and is negative (cathodic) or positive (anodic) depending on the direction and sign of the current-carrying species (e.g. e–, H+)

• (Electrode) (electric) potential (V or E; in units of V = J/C) is written as a reductionThis relates to Gibbs free energy as ΔG = –RT ln K = –nFEcell (electrical work per mole), and…

… partial molar Gibbs free energy is the electrochemical potential ( 𝜇, in units of J/mol)

Chemical potential (𝜇, in units of J/mol)

Galvani/Inner (electric) potential (ϕ, in units of V)

… and in summary, 𝜇 = 𝜇 + 𝑧𝐹ϕAlso, standard state is a solvent, a solid, and a species at unit activity (~1 M solutes, ~1 bar gases)

Also, E = IR (Ohm’s law) when resistance is constant

• Galvanic cells produce power (in units of W = A x V = C/s x J/C = J/s) by spontaneous redox reactions

• Electrolytic cells require a power input to drive redox reactions; thus, the reactions are thermodynamically unfavorable

• A battery has an anode/anolyte and a cathode/catholyte, but these descriptors change depending on whether the battery is being discharged (galvanic) or charged (electrolytic); negative electrode/negolyte and positive electrode/posolyte are better

103First description of conductivity using solvated electrons

Cady, J. Phys. Chem., 1897, 1, 707

During the first part of the twentieth century, E. C. Franklin and C. A. Kraus probably did more to elucidate the chemistry of

liquid ammonia solutions than everybody else combined… It is perhaps little known that their work was prompted by the

research and insight of H. P. Cady, carried out while he was an undergraduate! Whilst working on cobalt ammine

complexes, Cady proposed that ammonia in these (and other “double salts”) must function in a manner akin to water in salts

with water of crystallization. He suggested further that liquid ammonia would probably be found to resemble water in its

physical and chemical properties—thus adding a second to our list of ionizing solvents. Cady’s undergraduate work, carried

out without supervision, published in 1897, was perhaps the first physical chemistry study of liquid ammonia solutions.
