Chapter 21, Problem 21.140P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The liters of H2 formed from per kg of Zn has to be calculated under given conditions.

Concept Introduction:

An electrochemical cell is a device in which a redox reaction is used to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Such device is also known as the galvanic or voltaic cell.

Galvanic cell consists of two half-cells. The redox reaction occurs in these half-cells. The half-cell in which the reduction reaction occurs is known as the reduction half-cell, whereas the half-cell in which the oxidation reaction occurs is known as the oxidation half-cell.

Oxidation: It is the loss of electrons by a species and thus oxidation number is increased.

Reduction: It is the gain of electrons by a species and thus oxidation number is decreased

According to Faraday’s Law the substance formed at electrode will directly depends on the charge flowing in a cell.

The Standard Gibb’s free energy change and the standard cell potential are related as followed:

Δ°G=-nFE°cellwhere,n - Number of electrons involved per equivalent of the net redox reaction in the cellF - Faraday’s Constant (96500 C) cell- Standard cell potential.

The Nernst equation depicts the relationship between Ecell and Eocell as follows,

Ecell=Eocell0.0592VnlogQwhere,Ecell=cellpotentialEocell=Standardcellpotentialn=No.ofelectronsQ=ReactionQuotient
