CHEM1011 - Resources for Week 12
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Electrochemistry
relate the sign of the electrode potential to the direction of spontaneous change
combine half cells to produce balanced redox reactions and to calculate cell potentials
identify the species which are being oxidzied and those being reduced in a redox reaction
write down the cell notation for a Galvanic cell including ones involving inert electrodes
use the Nernst equation to calculate the effect of concentration on the cell potential
relate the electrode potential and the reaction quotient
relate the standard electrode potential and the equilibrium constant
Electrolytic Cells
identify the processes and species formed at the anode and cathode of Galvanic and electrolytic cells
identify the direction of electron flow in Galvanic and electrolytic cells
identify what can be electroysed and the role of over-potential in the electrolysis of water and in the production of NaOH and Cl2
use Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis to relate the amount of product to the electric current applied
