Question
Answer
Electrochemistry   the area of chemistry that deals with the interconversion of electrical energy and chemical energy  
🗑
Elecrochemistry involves:   1. using electricity to maker chemical reactions and 2. using chemical reactions to produce electricity  
🗑
electrochemical processes are?   oxidation- reduction reactions in which energy released by a spontaneous reactions is converted to electricity and electrical energy is used to cause a non spontaneous reaction to occur  
🗑
oxidation   is a half reaction in which you lose e-  
🗑
reduction   is a half reaction in which you gain e-  
🗑
oxidation numbers   the charge an atom would have in a molecule (or in an ionic compound) if electrons were completely transferred  
🗑
Free elements in an uncombined state have an oxidation number of?   zero  
🗑
in mono-atomic ions the oxidation number is?   equal to the charge on the ion  
🗑
The oxidation number of oxygen is usually?   -2. In H2O2 and O2(2-) it -1.  
🗑
the oxidation number of hydrogen is   +1, except when it is bonded to metals in binary compounds, it is -1.  
🗑
The oxidation number of group 1A metals is:   +1  
🗑
The oxidation number of group IIA metals is:   +2  
🗑
Fluorine's oxidation number is always:   -1  
🗑
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in a molecule is equal to?   the charge on the molecule or atom.  
🗑
Anode   the electrode at which oxidation occurs, it positive  
🗑
Cathode   the electrode at which reduction occurs, it negative  
🗑
Half-cell reactions   redox reactions  
🗑
voltometer   measures the difference in electrical potential between the anode and cathode  
🗑
Galvanic Cells   an apparatus for generating electricity through the use of a spontaneous reaction  
🗑
What does the subscript "o" denote?   Standard state condition  
🗑
Cell voltage   the difference in electrical potential between the anode and the cathode  
🗑
Double lines denote?   a salt bridge  
🗑
Standard reduction potential (E0)-   is the voltage associated with a reduction reaction at an electrode when all solutes are 1M and all gases are at 1 atm  
🗑
Standard emf (E0Cell)   E0cell= E0cathode- E0anode  
🗑
The more positive E0   the greater the tendency for the substance to be reduced  
🗑
are half cell reactions reversible?   yes  
🗑
the sign of E0 changes when?   the reaction is reversed  
🗑
Changing the stoichiometric coefficients of a half-cell reaction does what?   It does not change the value of E0  
🗑
Energy (joules)=   change(coulomb) x voltage(volts)  
🗑
Faraday constant (F)=   the charge of one mole of electrons  
🗑
ΔG is negative K>1 E0cell=   positive, favors the formation of products  
🗑
ΔG is positive K<1 E0cell=   negative, favors the formation of reactants  
🗑
Concentration cell-   a galvanic cell from two half-cells composed of the same material but differing in ion concentrations  
🗑
Membrane potential-   is the electrical potential that exists across the membrane of various kinds of cells including muscle and nerve cells  
🗑
Nerst equations   E=-(0.0257V/n) lnQ  
🗑
Battery-   a galvanic cell, or series of combined galvanic cells, that can be used as a source of direct electrical current at a constant voltage. Are self contained and require no salt bridge.  
🗑
Leclanche' cell   the most common battery, with no fluid component  
🗑
Mercury Battery   used in medicine, provides consistent voltage  
🗑
Lead storage battery   used in automobiles, consists of 6 identical cells joined in a series, and is rechargeable  
🗑
Solid state Lithium battery   Rechargeable, long-lasting, very light. It is used in cell phones, cameras, and laptops.  
🗑
Fuel Cell-   is an electrochemical cell that requires a continuous supply of reactants to keep functioning.  
🗑
Corrosion-   the deterioration of metals bu an electrochemical process  
🗑
Passivation-   process by which the surface of iron metal is made inactive by treating it with a strong oxidizing agent to for a thin oxide layer  
🗑
Cathodic protection-   process in which a metal that is to be protected from erosion is made the cathode in that amounts to a galvanic cell  
🗑
electrolytic cell-   an apparatus for carrying out electrolysis  
🗑
Electrolysis-   the process on which electrical energy is used top cause a non-spontaneous chemical reaction to occur  
🗑
overvoltage-   the difference between the electrode potential and the actual voltage required to cause electrolysis  
🗑
