ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS
A device in which a reaction occurs with the
production of an electrical potential difference
between 2 electrodes
Cell single arrangement of 2 electrodes
Battery combination of 2 or more cells
connected in series or in parallel

Converts electrical energy into

Redox reaction is spontaneous
and is responsible for the
production of electrical energy
Redox reaction is not spontaneous
and electrical energy has to be
supplied to initiate the reaction
2 half cells in different containers
connected with a salt bridge
2 electrodes in the same container
Anode is negative and cathode is
positive electrode
Anode is positive and cathode is
negative electrode
The electrons are supplied by the
species getting oxidized. They
move from anode to the cathode
in the external circuit
The external battery supplies the
electrons. They enter through the
cathode and come out through the
anode

ELECTROLYTIC CELL VS
ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL
ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS
Consists of 2 half cells
Each half-cell consists of an electrode, and an
electrolyte
The two half-cells may use the same electrolyte,
or they may use different electrolytes
The chemical reactions in the cell may involve
the electrolyte, the electrodes or an external
substance

ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS
one half-cell lose electrons (OXIDATION) to their
electrode while species from the other half-cell
gain electrons (REDUCTION) from their electrode
A salt bridge is often employed to provide ionic
contact between two half-cells with different
electrolytes
to prevent the solutions from mixing and causing
unwanted side reactions.

between the oxidation and reduction vessel

Glass Electrode
consists of a long glass tube with a thin walled glass bulb at
one end
Special glass (Corning glass containing 22% Na
2
O, 6% CaO and
72%SiO
2
) of low melting point and high electrical conductance
is used for the purpose.
The glass can specifically sense hydrogen ions up to a pH of
about 9.
The bulb contains 0.1 M HCl and a Ag/AgCl electrode (as
internal reference electrode), is immersed into the solution
and connected by a platinum wire for electrical contact.
The electrode is represented as,
Ag | AgCl (s) | HCl (0.1M) | glass

Gas Electrode
consists of a gas bubbling about an inert metal wire or foil
immersed in a solution containing ions to which the gas is
reversible
Metal Wire is usually platinized platinum
To facilitate equilibrium between the gas and its ions
Serve as electric contact for the electrode
Examples:
Hydrogen electrode which is reversible to hydrogen ions
Chlorine electrode which is reversible to chloride ions
Oxygen electrode whose emf depends on the activity of hydroxyl
ions

The E
o
values apply to half cell reaction as read in the
forward direction
Under standard condition, any species on the left of a
given half cell reaction will react spontaneously with a
species that appear on the right of any half cell reaction
(diagonal rule)
(Based on Table 14-3, Maron and Lando) The more
positive the value of E
o
is, the greater the tendency for
the substance to be oxidized


26
STANDARD ELECTRODE POTENTIAL
Half cell reaction is reversible. Depending on conditions,
any electrode can act as either an anode or cathode.
Changing the stoichiometric coefficient of a half cell
reaction does not affect the value of E
o
.


27
STANDARD ELECTRODE POTENTIAL
For the Zn-Cu electrodes, the emf varies with activities
of the Zn
+2
and Cu
+2
ions in the 2 solutions
When Zn
+2
is large the tendency for the reaction:
Zn(s) Zn
+2
+ 2e- to occur decreases
When Cu
+2
increases, the tendency of
Cu
+2
+ 2e- Cu(s) to occur increases

28
STANDARD ELECTRODE POTENTIAL
1. Any cell reaction is the sum of the single electrode
reactions as they occur in the cell.
2. The total cell emf is the algebraic sum of the single
electrode potentials provided each emf is affixed with
sign corresponding to the reaction as it actually takes
place at the electrode.

29
Rules on Cell Reactions and
emf
3. If any of the cell is written down with the negative
electrode on the left, so that the electrons flow through
the external circuit from left to right, the cell reaction
deduced by rule 2 for the cell is positive
4. If the wrong assumption be made with respect to
the polarity of the electrodes, rule 3 will yield a
negative emf corresponding to the non-
spontaneous reaction. To obtain the spontaneous
reaction and its emf, reverse the reaction and
change the sign of the emf without changing the
magnitude.

Cell is assembled in which one of the electrodes is
reversible to the hydrogen ions
Dipped into the solution whose pH is to be
determined
The other electrode is usually a calomel
Either with salt bridge or reference electrode is
immersed directly into the solution
emf is measured with a potentiometer

Recharging
Reaction is reversed by applying an external voltage at the
cathode and anode
Degree to which the battery is discharged can be checked
from the density of the electrolyte (H

For fully charged battery, =1.2 g/ml
emf decreases with decreasing temperature (1.5v x 10

Real cause of breakdown: increase in viscosity of the
electrolyte as T decreases
