Oxidation number
The charge the atom would have in a molecule (or an ionic compound) if electrons were completely transferred.
1. Free elements (uncombined state) have an oxidation number of zero.
Na, Be, K, Pb, H2, O2, P4 = 0
2. In monatomic ions, the oxidation number is equal to the charge on the ion.
Li+, Li = +1; Fe3+, Fe = +3; O2-, O = -2 3. The oxidation number of oxygen is usually –2. In H2O2
and O22- it is –1.

Balancing Redox Equations
1. Write the unbalanced equation for the reaction ion ionic form.
The oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ by Cr2O72- in acid solution?
Fe2+ + Cr2O72- Fe3+ + Cr3+
2. Separate the equation into two half-reactions.
Oxidation:
Cr2O72- Cr3+
+6 +3 Reduction:
Fe2+ Fe3+ +2 +3
3. Balance the atoms other than O and H in each half-reaction.
Cr2O72- 2Cr3+

6e- + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
5. For reactions in acid, add H+ to balance electronic charge and H2O to balance O atoms and H atoms
Fe2+ Fe3+ + 1e-
6e- + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
6. If necessary, equalize the number of electrons in the two half-reactions by multiplying the half-reactions by appropriate coefficients.
6Fe2+ 6Fe3+ + 6e-
6e- + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+

Balancing Redox Equations
7. Add the two half-reactions together and balance the final equation by inspection. The number of electrons on both sides must cancel.
6e- + 14H+ + Cr2O72- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
6Fe2+ 6Fe3+ + 6e- Oxidation:
Reduction:
14H+ + Cr2O72- + 6Fe2+ 6Fe3+ + 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
8. Verify that the number of atoms and the charges are balanced. 14x1 – 2 + 6 x 2 = 24 = 6 x 3 + 2 x 3
9. For reactions in basic solutions, add OH- to instead of H+ to balance electronic charges.
10. Balance the reaction in the molecular form.

• E° is for the reaction as written
• The more positive E° the greater the tendency for the substance to be reduced
• The half-cell reactions are reversible
• The sign of E° changes when the reaction is reversed
• Changing the stoichiometric coefficients of a half-cell reaction does not change the value of E°

Electrode processes The metallic electrode is dipped into a solution containing a salt of the metal. Some atoms of the metal can leave the electrode and form the cation in solution, leaving electrons in the metal. This form a double layer of opposite charges to the electrode surface. The electrochemical potential of the metal and its ion should be the same at the equilibrium.

The electromotive force • It is useful to separate the overall redox reaction in two separated processes: the oxidation and reduction semi- reaction.
• In the electrochemical cell we have two electrodes and we indicate as Cathode the electrode where the reductions occur and Anode the electrode of oxidation processes. • The electromotive force (EMF) of the cell is the electric potential difference among the cathode and anode.

Electrolysis
• Previously our lectures on electrochemistry were involved with voltaic cells i.e. cells with Ecell > 0 and ΔG < 0 that were spontaneous reactions.
• Today we discuss electrochemical cells where Ecell < 0 and ΔG > 0 that are non-spontaneous reactions and require electricity for the reactions to take place. We can take a voltaic cell and reverse the electrodes to make an electrochemical cell.

Electrolysis • We would choose the production of O2(g) and Cu(s). • But the voltage for producing O2(g) from solution is considerably
higher than the standard potential, because of the high activation energy needed to form O2(g).
• The voltage for this half cell seems to be closer to –1.5 V in reality. • The result then is the production of Cl2(g) and Cu(s).
anode, oxidation: Cl2(g) + 2e– 2Cl–(aq) E° = +1.358 V • cathode, reduction: Cu2+(aq) + 2e– Cu(s) E° = +0.337 V
• overall: CuCl2(aq) Cu(s) + Cl2(g) E = –1.021 V • We must apply a voltage of more than +1.021 V to cause this reaction
to occur.

Stoichiometry of electrolysis: Relation between amounts of charge and product
• Faraday’s law of electrolysis relates to the amount of substance produced at each electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of charge flowing through the cell (half reaction).
• Each balanced half-cell shows the relationship between moles of electrons and the product.

Application of Faraday’s law
• 1. First balance the half-reactions to find number of moles of electrons needed per mole of product.
• 2. Use Faraday constant (F = 9.65E4 C/mol e-) to find corresponding charge.
• 3. Use the molar mass of substance to find the charge needed for a given mass of product. – 1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second or 1 A = 1 C/s – A x s = C

History
• The fuel cells had been conceived in 1839 by the British scientist Mr. William Grove.
• Developed practical applications during
years 60 and 70, for NASA.
• The American astronauts consumed the water produced for the electric generators of its ships.
• These generators had constituted the first operational use of fuel cells.

What they are… • Electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electric
energy;
• It can have taxes of conversion in the order of 90%;
• Cathode + anode + electrolyte + catalyst;
• Ex.: Combustible H2 and oxidant O2
Anode – H2(g) → 2H+(aq) + 2e-
Cathode – 1/2O2(g) + 2H+(aq) + 2e- → H2O(g)
• It is important the selection of the electrolyte, and the dimensions
of this and the electrodes.

Corrosion is a spontaneous and irreversible electrochemical process, which results in the degrada5on of a metallic material, upon interac5on with the environment. The corrosion could occur in the presence or in the absence of water: The first one is called wet corrosion, the second dry corrosion As for all the chemical processes, the corrosion depends on both thermodynamic (spontaneous or not process) and kine5c (rate of the process) factors
Corrosion

The interac5on with the environment could lead to: 1. The corrosion of the metal (ac5ve condi5on): the process is both thermodynamic and kine5c favored. ΔE > 0
2. The forma5on of a protec5ve film (passive condi5on): the process is favored by thermodynamic but kine5cally inhibited
3. No modifica5on of the metal: : the process is not thermodynamic favored. ΔE < 0

The corrosion is an electrochemical process, where a cathode and an anode are formed The metal is oxidized in the anodic region and leaves the electrons that migrate to the cathodic region, the corrosive region, where molecular oxygen is reduced
Anodic process: Me Men+ + ne-‐
Cathodic process: O2 + 2H2O + 4e-‐ 4OH-‐
or O2 + 4H+ + 4e-‐ 2H2O

The molecular oxygen is more concentrated at the surface than in the bulk of the droplet, leading to a concentra5on cell. The oxygen reduc5on produces the hydroxide ions that lead to the rust forma5on
This effect produces the ring morphology for the metal corrosion

The corrosion can be: Generalized: the anodic zone is big, while the cathodic zone is small Localized: is the reverse case of the generalized corrosion. It is the most dangerous

Generalized corrosion This corrosion interests all the metallic surface and leads to a reduc5on of the metal thickness
Uniform Not uniform

Localized corrosion This corrosion interests only small parts of the metal surface and it is the most dangerous because it is impossible to evaluate the gravity of the corrosive a*ack from an external inspec5on.

Temporal evolu5on of the corrosion Constant process: ex. Fe in HCl Self-‐cataly5c process: the hydrolysis of iron in the presence of Cl-‐ ion produces protons in the anodic zone that increases the corrosion rate Self-‐inhibi5ng process: the forma5on of carbonate salts in the alkaline region can produce low soluble salts that par5ally protect the metal surface from the oxygen reduc5on Passiva5ng process: the forma5on in the anodic zone of a compact oxide film that protect the metal: ex. Al

Galvanic corrosion The corrosion is produced by a junc5on of two metals having different E: the metal with lower E is oxidized. Lower the ra5o of the zone anode/cathode, higher and more penetra5ng the dissolu5on of the less noble metal.
