Basis of batteries, fuel cells, electroplating, corrosion... Quick review: Oxidation: substance loses electrons Reduction: substance gains electrons “LEO the lions says GER” Bookkeeping system? Chemistry Lecture #14, p. 8 Review: Oxidation Numbers Rules: Atoms in elemental form: 0 Monoatomic ions: ionic charge Nonmetals in ionic/molecular compounds: negative oxidation numbers Oxygen: −2 (except peroxide ion, O,- , , −1) H: +1 (except if bonded to metal, −1) F: −1 (always) Cl, Br, I: −1 (except positive if bonded to oxygen) Sum of oxidation numbers for atoms in compound equals its net charge Ex: Mg ; + 2HCl -. → MgCl, (-.) + H, (?) 0 +1 −1 +2 −1 0 Mg is oxidized; Mg reduces H; Mg is reductant H is reduced; H oxidizes Mg; H is oxidizer Chemistry Recallfromlecture 3 Activityseries Anymetalaboveit onserieswillreactwithacidtoformHagas Mgisabove H seebelowp16 Lecture #14, p. 9 Electrochemistry Study of relationship between electricity and chemical reactions Example ≡ “Nicad” battery disoxidized Ex: Cd ; + NiO, ; + 2H, O(1) → Cd(OH), ; + Ni(OH), ; i isreduced Used to generate power; electrons must be conserved Adds constraint when we balance redox reactions! How? “Method of half-reactions” Divide electrochemical reaction into oxidation and reduction half-reactions Balance each and then combine Procedure? Chemistry Lecture #14, p. 10 Procedure How to balance redox reactions in acidic aqueous solutions 1. Divide reaction into oxidation half-reaction and reduction half-reaction 2. Balance each half-reaction First, balance elements other than H and O Next, balance O atoms by adding H2O as needed Then, balance H atoms by adding H+ as needed Finally, balance charge by adding e−s as needed 3. Multiply two half-reactions by integers to equate electrons lost and gained 4. Add half-reactions and, if possible, cancel species appearing on both sides 5. Check to make sure atoms and charges are balanced Sounds complicated, but very logical Chemistry Lecture #14, p. 11 permanganationtoxalation it i thief ua on Example Balance MnO- ,- 1 + C, O1 → Mn ,/ + CO, in acidic H, O Procedure Byq Reduction Oxidation o Half-rxns: MnO" ! → Mn #$ C# O#" ! → CO# +7 −2 +2 +3 −2 +4 −2 o Balance half-rxns: Balance non H, O: MnO" ! → Mn #$ C# O#" ! → 2CO# Balance O: MnO" ! → Mn #$ + 4H# O C# O#" ! → 2CO# fin Byaf Balance H: MnO" $ ! + 8H → Mn #$ + 4H# O C# O#" ! → 2CO# in ingByq Balance charge: MnO" $ " ! + 8H + 5e → Mn #$ + 4H# O C# O#" ! → 2CO# + 2e " o Balance e− gained/lost: 2MnO" $ " ! + 16H + 10e → 2Mn #$ + 8H# O 5C# O#" ! → 10CO# + 10e " o Combine half-rxns: fiii I 2MnO" #" $ ! + 5C# O! + 16H → 2Mn #$ + 10CO# + 8H# O o Check balance: atoms: 2 Mn 20 oxygen charge: 4+ Iiii 10 C 16 H Chemistry Areatomsandchargesbalance Balanced Lecture #14, p. 12 What If Solution is Basic? How to balance redox reactions in basic aqueous solutions 1. Balance half-reactions as if they occur in acidic solution 2. Count number of H+ in each half-reaction, and add same number of OH− to each side Why? Neutralizing H+ with OH− Equal H+ and OH− on same side form H2O Cancel any H2O appearing on both sides 3. Multiply two half-reactions by integers to equate electrons lost and gained Same as 4. Add half-reactions and, if possible, cancel species appearing on both sides above 5.

Voltaic cells: If redox rxn is spontaneous (i.e., ∆. < 0 ), we can extract electrical work Half-rxns above can be physically separated into two “half-cells” Ex: Zn # + Cu,/(()) → Zn,/(()) + Cu(#) Zn is oxidized by Cu Is this redox rxn spontaneous? Chemistry Lecture #14, p. 16 Recall: Activity Series Any metal is oxidized by metals below it Zn # + Cu,/ (()) → Zn,/ (()) + Cu(#) Spontaneous! We can use this to make battery! Chemistry Lecture #14, p. 17 Copper–Zinc Battery Cu electrode in 1. CuSO1 Zn electrode in 1. ZnSO1 This is voltaic cell!

If instead of extracting work, we apply external potential (i.e. voltage)... We can recharge battery by “reversing” chemistry Today just basics Fuel cells, electroplating, corrosion all related topics! Important for engineers Chemistry Lecture #14, p. 29 What We Learned Reviewed oxidation and reduction, oxidation numbers Electrochemistry = relationship between electricity and chemical rxns Balancing redox reactions: additional constraint of balanced electron flow Method of half-reactions Redox reactions in acidic solutions and in basic solutions Voltaic cells Cell potentials Standard reduction potentials Standard hydrogen electrode Relationship between ∆+ ° and !$477 ° Chemistry Lecture #14, p. 30 Why Chemistry? ETH engineers must know basic chemistry as part of their education MAVT graduates now do everything! Need chemistry knowledge so you are not left behind! MAVT students were previously told to ignore chemistry Later regretted their poor chemistry knowledge World Needs You! Examples: Face critical crises SAF? Need world-class engineers Hydrogen-fired turbines? Batteries? Your generation must save world Carbon capture? Transportation? Biomedical devices? Chemistry
