Lecture 25-3
Recap: Standard cell potential
n 
The measured voltage across the cell under standard conditions is the
standard cell potential E0cell (also called emf).
Zn(s)|Zn2+(aq)||Cu2+(aq)|Cu(s)
Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) à Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
E0cell = E0cathode – E0anode = 0.34 - ( - 0.76)= 0.34 +0.76 = 1.10 V
Lecture 26 - 4
Tricks to memorise anode/cathode
n 
1. Anode and Oxidation begin with a vowels,
Cathode and Reduction with consonants.
n 
2. Alphabetically, the A in anode comes before the C in cathode, as
the O in oxidation comes before the R in reduction.
n 
3. Think of this picture:
AN OX and a RED CAT
(anode oxidation reduction cathode)
Lecture 26 - 5
Standard cell potential and free energy
n 
For a spontaneous reaction, E0cell > 0
For a non-spontaneous reaction, E0cell <0
n 
So there is a proportionality between E0 and -ΔG0.
n 
You also know that the maximum work done on the surroundings is
n 
and also ΔG0 < 0
and also ΔG0 > 0
-wmax = ΔG
n 
Electrical work done by the cell is
w = Ecell × charge
Lecture 26 - 6
Standard cell potential and free energy
n 
The emf E0cell is related to the change in free energy of a reaction:
∆G0 = –nFE0cell
∆G0 = Standard change in free energy
n = number of electrons exchanged
F = 96485 C/mol e- (Faraday constant)
Also, away from standard conditions:
∆G = –nFEcell
v  But what is Ecell?
Lecture 26 - 7
Example
Calculate ∆G0 for a cell reaction:
Cu2+(aq) + Fe (s) D Cu(s) + Fe2+ (aq)
Is this a spontaneous reaction?
Cu2+ + 2e– D Cu
E0 = 0.34 V
Fe2+ + 2e– D Fe
E0 = –0.44 V
E0cell = 0.34 - (-0.44) = 0.78 V
∆G0 = –nFE0cell
∆G0 = – 2 · 96485 · 0.78 = – 1.5 · 105 J
This process is spontaneous as indicated by the negative sign of ΔG0
and the positive sign for E0cell.
Lecture 26 - 8
Example: a Dental Galvanic Cell
Al(s)|Al3+(aq) || O2(aq), H+(aq), H2O(aq)|Ag,Sn,Hg
Al is very easily oxidised,
Al3+ + 3e− à Al Eo = -1.66V.
The filling is an inactive
cathode for the
reduction of oxygen,
O2 + 4H+ + 4e− à 2H2O
and saliva is an electrolyte.
Put the three together (biting on a piece of foil) results in generation
of a current and possible pain.
Lecture 26 - 9
Example: a Dental Galvanic Cell
Al(s)|Al3+(aq) || O2(aq), H+(aq), H2O(aq)|Ag,Sn,Hg
O2 + 4H+ + 4e– à 2H2O E0 = 1.23 V
Al3+ + 3e– à Al
E0 = –1.66 V
12H+ + 3O2 + 4Al à 6H2O + 4Al3+
E0cell = 2.89 V
∆G0 = –nFE0cell=
–12 · 96485 · 2.89 = –3346 kJmol–1

v  But what is Ecell?

spontaneous mixing of two solutions of different concentrations to

Concentration cells
The cell potential depends on the concentration of reactants.
Corollary: It is useful to define a standard concentration, which is 1 M.
Implication: We need to specify concentration when referring to the cell
potential.
The overall potential for the Cu/Cu2+ concentration cell is:

Q: The standard reduction potential of Zn2+/Zn is - 0.76 V. What
would be the observed cell potential for the Zn/Zn2+ couple when
measured using the SCE as a reference?
Calomel: Hg2Cl2(s) + 2e- à 2Hg(l) + 2Cl-(aq) E0 = 0.24V
Zn à Zn2+ + 2eE0 = + 0.76V
(reversed because it is written as an oxidation)
0.24 Hg+/Hg
0.0V H2/H+
Ans: The Zn will be oxidised (lower reduction potential), so
E (cell) = 0.76 + 0.24 = 1.00 V respect to the SCE
So to get the oxidation half-reaction E0 using the SCE as
cathode, subtract 0.24 V from the volt meter reading.

n 
A Fe3+/Fe2+ cell with [Fe3+]=[Fe2+] =1 M has a potential of
0.55V respect to the Ag/AgCl electrode (E0= 0.22 V). What
is the potential of this electrode with respect to the SHE?
?
0.22 Ag+/Ag
Answer.
The reactions that occur in the two half-cells are:
Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+
at the cathode E = 0.55 V; E0 = ?
Ag + Cl- +e-→ AgCl
at the anode
E0= 0.22 V
0.0V H2/H+
The potential of this electrode with respect to the SHE is the
difference of the two electrode potentials:
E = E0 - 0.22
E0Fe3+/Fe2+ = 0.55 + 0.22 = 0.77 V

The pH electrode potential is typically measured

and resulting in a hydration layer a few micrometers thick.
•  Inside the membrane is a 'reference solution' of known [H+] (1M HCl).

the outside glass/solution interface marked ||.

If Q/K < 1
n  Ecell is positive for the reaction as written. The smaller the Q/K ratio,
the greater the value of Ecell and the more electrical work the cell
can do.
If Q/K = 1,
n  Ecell = 0. The cell is at equilibrium and can no longer do work.
If Q/K > 1,
n  Ecell is negative for the reaction as written. The cell will operate in
reverse – the reverse reaction will take place and do work until Q/K
= 1 at equilibrium.
Lecture 27 - 34
Link between E 0 and K
Q: What happens if the reaction proceeds until equilibrium is reached?
A: The reaction stops, therefore the voltage, or electrical potential, is zero

§  This creates a H+ concentration cell
across the membrane.
§  In this step, the cell acts as an
electrolytic cell, i.e. uses a spontaneous
process to drive a non-spontaneous
process.
Figure from Silberberg, “Chemistry”,
McGraw Hill, 2006.
§  When [H+]intermembrane/[H+]matrix ~ 2.5 a
trigger allows protons to flow back
across membrane, and ATP is formed.
§  It’s not simple: Noble prize in 1997 to Boyer and Walker for elucidating this.
