Summary and Extension…Galvanic(Voltaic)Cells
1M Ce4+, Ce3+ 1M Au3+
EMF ( )
in volts defined as:
Overall reaction: __________________________
E = ________ = _____(symbolically)
or w = 1 mole of electrons charge would be: _______________
or w = (this is called a ,F )or since we know another name for w→ (or rewritten under standard form)
But what happens to the voltage when the concentration is changed??? For example: __________ …. Explain ______________________________________________
Recall…G =
Substituting in…or ( )We get……E = E ° - RT lnQ called: _______________________
nF
At 25.0°C ( a common temp for running these cells)
E = E ° - ______log Q
For the process we just looked at, find the conc. of the Au3+ ( with all other [ ]’s standard) if the voltage of the cell at 25.0°C is 0.30 V.
Ce4+ + 1e- → Ce3+ E ° = 1.70 VAu3+ + 3e- → Au E ° = 1.50 V
←anodeC → ← Au
←cathode
Ce4+ + 1e- → Ce3+
E ° = 1.70 V
Au → 3e- + Au3+
E º° = -1.50 V3Ce4+ + Au → Au3+ + 3Ce3+
Standard Cell Potential = E ° = 0.20 V

[Au3+] ↓↓ E goes up due to forward reaction favored…G° + RT lnQ
-E nF = -E °nF + RT lnQDividing by -nFThe Nernst Equation
0.0592 What if the concentrations of the ions were [Ce4+] = 0.200 M, [Ce3+] = 0.300 M and [Au3+] = 0.500 M
E = 0.196 V = 0.20V
E = 0.30 V = 0.20 V – 0.0592/3 (log [Au3+]) [Au3+] = 8.56 x 10-6 M
n
E = 0.20 V – (0.0592/3) (log [0.500][0.300]3/[0.200]3)
