8 Electrochemistry
Candidates should be able to:
8.1 Half-cell and redox equations
(a) explain the redox processes and cell diagram
(cell notation) of the Daniell cell;
(b) construct redox equations.
8.2 Standard electrode potential
(a) describe the standard hydrogen electrode;
(b) use the standard hydrogen electrode to
determine standard electrode potential
(standard reduction potential), E0;
(c) calculate the standard cell potential using the
Evalues, and write the redox equations;
(d) predict the stability of aqueous ions from Eº
values;
(e) predict the power of oxidising and reducing
agents from Eº values;
(f) predict the feasibility of a reaction from
value and from the combination of various
electrode potentials: spontaneous
8.3 Non-standard cell potentials
(a) calculate the non-standard cell potential,   Ecell,
of a cell using the Nernst equation.
8.4 Fuel cells
(a) describe the importance of the development of more efficient batteries for electric cars in terms of smaller size, lower mass and higher voltage, as exemplified by hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell.
8.5 Electrolysis
(a) compare the principles of electrolytic cell to
electrochemical cell;
(b) predict the products formed during
electrolysis;
(c) state the Faraday’s first and second laws of
electrolysis;
(d) state the relationship between the Faraday
constant, the Avogadro constant and the
electronic charge;
(e) calculate the quantity of electricity used, the
mass of material and/o
8.6 Applications of electrochemistry
(a) explain the principles of electrochemistry in
the process and prevention of corrosion
(rusting of iron);
(b) describe the extraction of aluminium by
electrolysis, and state the advantages of
recycling aluminium;
(c) describe the process of anodisation of
aluminium to resist corrosion;
(d) describe the diaphragm cell in the manufacture
of chlorine from brine;
(e) describe the treatment of industrial effluent by
electrolysis to remove Ni2+, Cr3+ and Cd2+;
(f) describe the electroplating of coated plastics.
