    Galvanic Cells – Electrochemical Cells

     when redox reaction occurs, energy released is normally


    lost as heat
     by separating half-reactions and making oxidation and
    reduction occur in different places (different half – cells),
    can cause electron transfer in a wire through an external
    electrical circuit
    o energy of reaction harnessed

    Galvanic cell: cathode is positive


    anode is negative

     electrons flow in external circuit from anode to cathode

     in solution: cations (+) move to cathode


    anions (–) move to anode

     salt bridge: connects two half cells (maintains


    electrical neutrality)

    Comparison:
     Electrolytic cell: cathode – negative (reduction)
    anode – positive (oxidation)

     Galvanic cell: cathode – positive (reduction)


    anode – negative (oxidation)

     chemical change  electrical energy


    ex. Zn0 / Zn2+ // Cu0 / Cu2+

     check electronegativity values to determine which cation will be reduced

    Cu (aq) + 2e-  Cu(s)
    2+

    Net Cell reaction


    Zn(s)  Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
    Cu2+(aq) + 2e-  Cu(s)
    Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq)  Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
    ex. Sketch Mg0 / Mg2+ // Fe0 / Fe2+ (red)
    Table  Fe2+ is reduced

    Anode half-cell reaction


    Mg(s)  Mg2+(aq) + 2e- Eoxo = -2.37V

    Cathode half-cell reaction


    Fe2+(aq) + 2e-  Fe(s) Eredo = -0.44V

    Net Cell reaction


    Mg(s)  Mg2+(aq) + 2e-
    Fe2+(aq) + 2e-  Fe(s)
    Mg(s) + Fe2+(aq)  Mg2+(aq) + Fe(s)

    Assignment:
    Sketch and label the following electrochemical cells.
    Indicate their half-reactions as well as their net reactions.

    i) Pb0 / Pb2+ // Ni0 / Ni2+


    ii) K0 / K+ // Ca0 / Ca2+
    iii) Cu0 / Cu2+ // Al0 / Al3+
