Redox reactions and electrode potential
The first primary cell and electrode potential
Oxidation value
Oxidation value ≠ valence. The oxidation value of an element is the artificially prescribed value of the "formal charge" given to an atom of an element or a compound.
Changes in the oxidation number of elements cannot determine the direction of the reaction, nor can they evaluate the electron gain and loss capabilities of the electric pair.
Redox reactions
Lifting oxygen loss and positive oxygen negative loss (the compound valence increases and loses electrons and is oxidized as a reducing agent to undergo an oxidation reaction and serves as the negative electrode of the battery.
It’s even better (the valence is lowered and the electrons are reduced to become oxidants)
Oxidation/Reduction Half Reaction
oxidized ne-reduced form or Ox ne- Red
OH- should not appear in the balanced half-reaction equation in acidic media H should not appear in balanced half-reaction equations in alkaline media
Oxidizing substances and corresponding reducing substances are called redox couples.
Primary battery
The device that converts the chemical energy of the redox reaction into electrical energy is called a primary cell, or battery for short.
Battery composition (battery symbol)
① "||" means salt bridge, negative electrode (-) → left, positive electrode ( ) → right
② The electrode plate is written on the outside. The solids and gases are close to the electrode plate, the solution is close to the salt bridge, and the electrode plates are on both sides.
③ Non-conductive half cells use Pt electrodes as plates. (Both sides of the inert conductor must be consistent)
④ "|" represents the phase interface, and different substances in the same phase are separated by ","
⑤ The solution is marked with concentration, the gas is marked with partial pressure, and the solid is marked with phase state. The standard solution and partial pressure do not need to be marked.
Generation of electrode potential - electric double layer theory
There are excess negative charges on the surface of the metal plate; the positively charged metal ions in the solution are attracted by the negative charges and are more concentrated near the metal plate, forming a so-called electric double layer structure, and the potential difference between them is called the electrode potential.
The more active the metal, the dilute the solution, the greater the dissolution tendency, the more negative charges on the surface at equilibrium, and the lower the electrode potential.
The electrode potential is the potential difference between the metal surface and its ionic solution, and is related to the nature of the metal, temperature and ion concentration.
Standard electrode potential
It is stipulated that p =100 kPa, c =1 molꞏL-1 under standard conditions, liquid or solid are pure substances
significance
Representing the oxidized/reduced substance of the corresponding electric pair in the aqueous solution under standard conditions, The ability to lose electrons, that is, the relative strength of oxidation/reduction
ΔrGm, ΔrHm, ΔrSm are breadth properties, and their values are related to the writing method of electrode reaction measurement coefficient
Section 2 Battery Electromotive Force and Gibbs Free Energy
Gm= W electric power, maximum= -qE= - nFE
n is the amount of material that transfers electrons, in mol; the electromotive force E is in V, and Faraday’s constant F = 96485 Cꞏmol-1.
Equilibrium constants for redox reactions
temperature
Number of electron transfers
Standard electrode potential
Independent of substance concentration
Section 3 Nernst equation of electrode potential and factors affecting electrode potential
Nernst equation
The Nernst equation of the electrode reaction at any temperature T shows that the electrode potential of the electric pair in any state is related to Its standard electrode potential and the relationship between concentration, gas partial pressure and temperature. (Also related to medium concentration
factor
acidity
Generate weak acid (weak base)
Precipitate generation
The essence is to change the concentration of a certain substance in the battery and establish a new balance.
reaction direction
Generally speaking, when E>0.3V, the reaction proceeds in the forward direction, and when E<-0.3V, the reaction proceeds in the reverse direction.
When -0.3V<E<0,.3V, the direction can be adjusted by changing the concentration
Like △G, it can only determine the direction, but cannot solve the speed problem.
