ELECTROLYSIS
The decomposition of electrolyte solution by passage of electric current, resulting into deposition of metals
or liberation of gases at electrodes is known as electrolysis.
ELECTROLYTIC CELL
This cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
The entire assembly except that of the external battery is
known as the electrolytic cell
ELECTRODES
The metal strip at which positive current enters is called anode; anode is positively charged in electrolytic
cell. On the other hand, the electrode at which current leaves is called cathode. Cathodes are negatively
charged.

W = weight liberated, Q = charge in coulomb
w = ZQ
Z = electrochemical equivalent
when Q = 1 coulomb, then w = Z
Thus, weight deposited by 1 coulomb charge is called electrochemical equivalent.
Let 1 ampere current is passed till ‘t’ seconds .
Then, Q = It w = ZIt
1 Faraday = 96500 coulomb = Charge of one mole electrons
One faraday is the charge required to liberate or deposit one gm equivalent of a substance at
corresponding electrode.
Let ‘E’ is equivalent weight then ‘E’ gm will be liberated by 96500 coulomb.

In the electrolysis process we have discussed above, we have taken molten salt as electrolyte, which
contains only one cation and anion. Now, if the electrolyte taken contains more than one cation and anion
(for example, aqueous solution of the ionic electrolyte), then the cation and anion that will get discharged
depends on the ability of cation to get reduced and the ability of anion to get oxidised.
The ability of an ion to get oxidised or reduced depends upon the size, mass, positive charge, negative charge
etc. Thus, it is not possible to predict qualitatively that which ion would be discharged first, as one factor might
enhance the ability to discharge while the other factor may hamper it. This can only be predicted on the basis
of quantitative value assigned based on the cumulative effect of all the factors reponsible for an ion's ability to
discharge. The value is referred as standard potential, which is determined by keeping the concentration of ion
as 1 M, pressure of gas at 1 atm, and the measurement done at 25°C. For a cation, the standard reduction
potential (SRP) values are compared. The cation having higher standard reduction potential value is discharged
in preference to cation with lower SRP value provided the ions are at 1 M concentration. For an anion, the
standard oxidation potential (SOP) values are compared and anion having higher SOP is preferentially discharged,
if the concentration is 1 M for each of the ion. The SRP values at 25°C for some of the reduction half reactions
are given in the table below.

When solution of an electroyte contains more than one type of cations and anions at concentrations
different than 1 M, the discharge of an ion does not depend solely on standard potentials but also
depends on the concentration of ion in the solution. This value is refered as potential, called as reduction
potential for cation and oxidation potential for anion. The relation between reduction potential and
standard reduction potential is given by Nernst equation, as
RT [concentration of product ]
ERP = E° RP – ln
nF [concentration of reac tan t ]
where ERP = Reduction potential of cation and E° RP = Standard reduction potential of cation.
Thus, it is possible that a cation (A +) with lower standard reduction potential getting discharged in
preference to cation (B+) having higher standard reduction potential because their concentration might
be such that the reduction potential of A + is higher than that of B +.
When two metal ions in the solution have identical values of their reduction potentials, the simultaneous
deposition of both the metals will occur in the form of an alloy.
GALVANIC CELL
This cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
Galvanic cell is made up of two half cells i.e., anodic and cathodic. The cell reaction is of redox kind.
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode. It is also known as voltaic cell. It may be
represented as shown in Fig. Zinc rod immersed in ZnSO4 behaves as anode and copper rod immersed in
CuSO4 behaves as cathode.
Oxidation takes place at anode:
Zn Zn2+ + 2e– (loss of electron : oxidation)
Reduction takes place at cathode:
Cu2+ + 2e– Cu (gain of electron ; reduction)
Over all process:
Zn(s) + Cu2+ Cu(s) + Zn2+
In galvanic cell like Daniell cell; electrons flow from anode (zinc rod) to the cathode (copper rod) through
external circuit; zinc dissolves as Zn2+ ; Cu2+ ion in the cathode cell picks up two electron and become
deposited at cathode.
SALT BRIDGE
Two electrolyte solutions in galvanic cells are seperated using salt bridge as represented in the Fig. salt
bridge is a device used to maintain electrical neutrality in both half cell. Saturated solution of salt like KCI,
KNO3, NH4Cl and NH4NO3 etc. in agar-agar gel is used in salt bridge. Salt bridge contains high concentration
of ions viz. K+ and NO3 at the junction with electrolyte solution. Thus, salt bridge carries whole of the current
across the boundary ; more over the K+and NO3 ions have same speed. Hence, salt bridge with uniform and
same mobility of cations and anions completes the electrical circuit & permits the ions to migrate.

NERNST EQUATION
Walter Nernst derived a relation between cell potential and concentration or Reaction quotient.
G = G° + RT ln Q ..(1)
where G and G° are free energy and standard free energy change; ‘Q’ is reaction quotient.
Let n, Faraday charge is taken out from a cell of e.m.f. (E) then electrical work done by the cell
may be calculated as,
Work done = Charge x Potential = nFE
From thermodynamics we know that decrease in Gibbs free energy of a system is a measure of
reversible or maximum obtainable work by the system if there is no work due to volume expansion
G = nFE and G° = nFE°
Thus from Eq. (i),we get nFE = -nFE° + RT lnQ

It is equivalent to decrease in free energy G = –nFE
Under standard state G0 = –nFE0 (i)

clear that the EMF should be +ve for a cell process to be feasible or spontaneous.

TYPES OF BATTERIES
1. Primary Batteries 2. Secondary Batteries
PRIMARY BATTERIES :
DRY CELLS AND ALKALINE BATTERIES
Zinc serves as the anode, and the cathode is a graphite rod placed
down the center of the device. These cells are often called "dry
cells" because there is no visible liquid phase. However, water is Anode (–)
(zinc inner case)
present, so the cell contains a moist paste of NH4Cl, ZnCl2 and
MnO2. The moisture is necessary because the ions present must Cathode (+)
be in a medium in which they can migrate from one electrode to (graphite rod)
the other. The cell generates a potential of 1.5 V using
Paste of MnO2,
the following half-reactions
NH4Cl and
Anode, (Oxidation) : Zn (s) Zn2+(aq) + 2 e– carbon
Cathode, (reduction) : MnO2 + NH4+ + e– MnO(OH) + NH3
LeClanche cells were widely used because of their low cost, but they have several disadvantages. If current
is drawn from the battery rapidly, the gaseous products cannot be consumed rapidly enough, so the cell
resistance rises, and the voltage drops. In addition, the zinc electrode and ammonium ions are in contact in
the cell, and these chemicals react slowly. Recall that zinc reacts with acid to form hydrogen. The ammonium
ion, NH4+(aq), is a weak Bronsted acid and reacts slowly with zinc. Because of this reaction, these voltaic
cells cannot be stored definitely. When the zinc outer shell deteriorates, the battery can leak acid and
perhas damage the appliance in which it is contained.
At the present time alkaline batteries are used, the chemistry of alkaline cells is quite similar to that in a
Leclanche cell, except that the material inside the cell is basic (alkaline). Alkaline cells use the oxidation of
zinc and the reduction of MnO2 to generate a current, but NaOH or KOH is used in the cell instead of the
acidic salt NH4Cl.
Alkaline cells, which produce 1.54V (approximately the same voltage as the Leclanche cell), have the further
advantage that the cell potential does not decline under high current loads because no gases are formed.
Mercury Cell
Mercury cell, suitable for low current devices like hearing aids, watches, etc. consists of zinc-mercury
amalgam as anode and a paste of HgO and carbon as the cathode. The electrolyte is a paste of KOH and
ZnO. The electrode reactions for the cell are given below :
Anode : Zn(Hg) + 2OH– ZnO(s) + H2O + 2e–
Cathode : HgO + H2O + 2e– Hg() + 2OH–
The overall reaction is represented by
Zn(Hg) + HgO(s) ZnO(s) + Hg()
The cell potential is approximately 1.35 V and remains constant during its life as the overall reaction does
not involve any ion in solution whose concentration can change during its life time.
SECONDARY OR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
The lead storage battery is probably the best known – 'car battey' +
rechargeable battery in figure. The 12 V version of this Pb
cathode
battery contains six voltaic cells, each generating about H2SO4(aq) plates
with
2V. The lead storage battery can produce a large initial PbO2
Pb
current, an essential feature when anode
plates
starting an automobile engine.

When the cell supplied electrical energy, the lead anode is oxidixed to lead (II) sulfate, an insoluble substance
that adheres to the electrode surface. The two electrons produced per lead atom move through the external
circuit to the cathode, where PbO2 is reduced to Pb2+ ions that, in the presence of H2SO4, also form lead (II)
sulfate.
Anode, (oxidation) : Pb(s) + SO42–(aq) PbSO4(s) + 2e–
Cathode, (reduction) : PbO2 (s) + 4H+(aq) + SO42– (aq) + 2e– PbSO4(s) + 2 H2O()

Nickel - Cadmium ("Ni - Cad") batteries, used in variety of cordless appliances such as telephones, video
camcorders, and cordless power tools, are lightweight and rechargeable. The chemistry of the cell utilizes
the oxidation of cadmium and the reduction of nickel (III) oxide under basic conditions. As with the lead
storage battery, the reactants and products formed when producing a current are solids that adhere to the
electrodes.
Anode, Oxidation : Cd(s) + 2 OH– Cd(OH)2(s) + 2e–
Cathode, reduction : NiO(OH) (s) + H2O() + e– Ni(OH)2(s) + OH–(aq)
FUEL CELLS
An advantage of voltaic cells is that they are small and portable, but their size is also a limitation. The
amount of electric current produced is limited by the quantity of reagents contained in the cell. When one of
the reactants is completely consumed, the cell will no longer generate a current. Fuel cells avoid this
limitation because the reactants (fuel and oxidant) can be supplied continuously to the cell from an external
reservoir.
In a Hydrogen - Oxygen fuel cell, hydrogen is pumped onto the anode of the cell, and O2 (or air) is directed
to the cathode where the following reactions occur :
Cathode, (reduction) : O2(g) + 2 H2O() + 4e– 4OH–(aq) E° = 1.23 V
Anode, (Oxidation) : +
H2(g) 2H (aq) + 2 e – E° = 0 V

CONTROL OF CORROSION
Since both the cathodic and anodic steps must take place for corrosion to occur, prevention of either one will
stop corrosion. The most obvious strategy is to stop both processes by coating the object with a paint or
other protective coating. Even if this is done, there are likely to be places where the coating is broken or does
not penetrate, particularly if there are holes or screw threads.
A more sophisticated approach is to apply a slight negative charge to the metal, thus making it more difficult
for the reaction M M2+ + 2e– to take place.
SACRIFICIAL COATINGS
One way of supplying this negative charge is to apply a coating of a more active metal. Thus a very common
way of protecting steel from corrosion is to coat it with a thin layer of zinc; this process is known as
galvanizing. The zinc coating, being less noble than iron, tends to corrode selectively. Dissolution of this
sacrificial coating leaves behind electrons which concentrate in the iron, making it cathodic and thus inhibiting
its dissolution.

CATHODIC PROTECTION
A more sophisticated strategy is to maintain a continual negative electrical charge on a metal, so that its
dissolution as positive ions is inhibited. Since the entire surface is forced into the cathodic condition, this
method is known as cathodic protection. The source of electrons can be an external direct current power
supply (commonly used to protect oil pipelines and other buried structures), or it can be the corrosion of
another, more active metal such as a piece of zinc or aluminum buried in the ground nearby.

The m vs C plot of strong electrolyte being linear it can be extrapolated to zero concentration. Thus,
m values of the solution of the test electrolyte are determined at various concentrations the concentrations
should be as low as good.
m values are then plotted against C when a straight line is obtained. This is the extrapolated to zero
concentration. The point where the straight line intersects m axis is 0m of the strong electrolyte.
However, the plot in the case weak electrolyte being non linear, shooting up suddenly at some low concentration
and assuming the shape of a straight line parallel to m axis. Hence extrapolation in this case is not
possible. Thus, 0 of a weak electrolyte cannot be determined experimentally. It can, however, be done with
the help of Kohlrausch's law to be discussed later.
Kohlrausch's Law of Independent Migration of Ions
Kohlrausch determined 0 values of pairs of some strong electrolytes containing same cation say KF and
KCl, NaF and NaCl etc., and found that the difference in 0 values in each case remains the same:
0 0 0 0
m (KCl) – m (KF) = m (NaCl) – m (NaF)
He also detemined 0 values of pairs of strong electrolytes containing same anion say KF and NaF, KCl and
NaCl etc.and found that the difference in 0 values in each case remains the same.
0 0 0 0
m (KF) – m (NaF) = m (KCl) – m (NaCl)
This experimental data led him to formulate the following law called Kohlrausch's law of independent migration
of ions.
At infinite dilution when dissociation is complete, every ion makes some definite contribution towards molar
conductance of the electrolyte irrespective of the nature of the other ion which with it is associated and that
the molar conductance at infinite dilution for any electrolyte is given by the sum of the contribution of the two
ions. Thus,
0
m = 0 0
Where 0 is the contribution of the cation and 0 is the contribution of the anion towards the molar conductance
at infinite dilution. These contributions are called molar ionic conductances at infinite dilution. Thus, 0 is the
molar ionic conductance of cation and 0 is the molar ionic conductnace of anion, at infinite dilution. The
above equation is, however, correct only for binary electrolyte like NaCl, MgSO4 etc.
Application of Kohlrausch's law :

(1) Determination of m of a weak electrolyte:
0 0
In order to calculate m of a weak electrolyte say CH3COOH, we determine experimentally m values of the
following three strong electrolytes:
(a) A strong electrolyte containing same cation as in the test electrolyte, say HCl
(b) A strong electrolyte containing same anion as in the test electrolyte, say CH3COONa
(c) A strong electrolyte containing same anion of (a) and cation of (b) i.e. NaCl.
0
m of CH3COOH is then given as:
0 0 0 0
m (CH3COOH) = m (HCl) + m (CH3COONa) – m (NaCl)
