Chemical Change ---> Electric Current
With time, Cu plates out onto Zn metal
strip, and Zn strip “disappears.”
Electrons are transferred from Zn to Cu2+,
but there is no useful electric current.
Oxidation:
Zn(s) ---> Zn2+(aq) + 2eReduction: Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---> Cu(s)
-------------------------------------------------------Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) ---> Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
Chemical Change ---> Electric Current
• To obtain a useful
current, we separate
the oxidizing and
reducing agents so that
electron transfer
occurs thru an external
wire.
• This is accomplished in a GALVANIC or VOLTAIC
cell.
• A group of such cells is called a _____________.
Chemical Change ---> Electric Current

What Voltage does a Cell Generate?
• Electrons are “driven” from anode to cathode by
an _______________________or emf.
• For Zn/Cu cell, this is indicated by a voltage of
1.10 V at 25 ˚C and when [Zn2+] and [Cu2+] = 1.0 M.

Cell Potential, E
For Zn/Cu cell, potential is +1.10 V at 25 ˚C and
when [Zn2+] and [Cu2+] = 1.0 M.
This is the STANDARD CELL POTENTIAL, Eo
—a quantitative measure of the tendency of
reactants to proceed to products when all are in
their standard states at 25 ˚C.
Calculating Cell Voltage
• Balanced half-reactions can be added together to
get overall, balanced equation.
Zn(s) ---> Zn2+(aq) + 2eCu2+(aq) + 2e- ---> Cu(s)
--------------------------------------------------------Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) ---> Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
• If we know Eo for each halfreaction, we could get Eo for net
reaction.
• But we need a reference!
Cell Potential: SHE
• Can’t measure 1/2 reaction Eo directly. Therefore,
measure it relative to a ______________________,
SHE.
2 H+(aq, 1 M) + 2e- <----> H2(g, 1 atm)

Therefore, Eo for Zn ---> Zn2+ (aq) + 2e- is +0.76 V

Uses of Eo values
• Organize half-reactions by
relative ability to act as oxidizing
agents.
Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---> Cu(s) Eo = +0.34 V
Zn2+(aq) + 2e- ---> Zn(s) Eo = –0.76 V
Note that when a reaction is reversed the sign of E˚ is reversed!
Cu2+ is better oxidazing agent than Zn2+;
Cu2+ will be reduced and Zn will be oxidized
Cu2+ reaction (reduction) will occur at the cathode
Zn reaction (oxidation) will occur at the anode.

c)
Calculate Eo and use Nernst eq. to calculate E.
Eo = Eocathode – Eoanode
E = Eo – 0.0257/n ln Q
Calculate the cell potential, at 25 °C, based upon the overall
reaction: 3 Cu2+(aq) + 2 Al(s)  3 Cu(s) + 2 Al3+(aq)
if [Cu2+] = 0.75 M and [Al3+] = 0.0010 M.
The standard reduction potentials are as follows:
Cu2+(aq) + 2 e- → Cu(s)
E° = +0.34 V Cathode
Al3+(aq) + 3 e- → Al(s)
E° = -1.66 V Anode
Eo = Eocathode – Eoanode
E = Eo – 0.0257/n ln Q
Eo and Thermodynamics
DE = q + w
The maximum work done by an electrochemical system (ideally) is
proportional to the potential difference (volts) and the quantity
of charge (coulombs):
Wmax = nFE
E is the cell voltage
nF is the quantity of electric charge transferred from anode to
cathode.
• Eo is related to ∆Go, the free energy change for the reaction
(energy released by the cell); under standard conditions:
∆Go = -nFEo
where F = Faraday constant
= 9.6485 x 104 J/V•mol of e(or 9.6485 x 104 coulombs/mol)
and n is the number of moles of electrons transferred
Calculate DGo from Eo
• Cu(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) ---> Cu2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s)
Eonet for Cu/Ag+ reaction = +0.46 V
DGo = -nFEo
1J = 1C * 1V
1000 J = 1kJ
Eo and the Equilibrium Constant
When Ecell = 0, the reactants and products are
at equilibrium, Q = K
E = 0 = Eo – 0.0257/n ln K
then
ln K = n Eo / 0.0257
(at 25oC)
For: Cu(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) ---> Cu2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s)
Eonet for Cu/Ag+ reaction = +0.46 V
