  21. The charge on an e- is -1.60217657 x 10-19 C. • This number times a mole of e- = … • 6.02214129 x 1023 e- / mol • 96485 C = 96500 C • Faraday is also credited to have coined the term electrolyte.

  30. Electrolysis of water. • anode+ - cathode ∆G always positive

  31. reaction • Reduction at cathode: 2 H+(aq) + 2e− → H2(g) • doubled 4 H+(aq) + 4e− → 2H2(g) • Anode (oxidation): • 2 H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4e− • 2 H2O(l) → O2(g) + 2H2(g)

  32. Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (Down's cell.) • Anode (oxidation): 2 Cl– → Cl2(g) + 2 e– • Cathode (reduction): 2 Na+(l) + 2 e– → 2 Na(l) • Overall reaction: 2Na+ + 2Cl–(l) → 2Na(l) + Cl2(g)

  33. The emf for this process is approximately −4 V indicating a (very) non-spontaneous process. In order for this reaction to occur the power supply should provide at least a potential of 4 V. However, larger voltages must be used for this reaction to occur at a high rate.

  34. Electrolysis of a solution of sodium chloride • 1.) Cathode: Na+(aq) + e– → Na(s) E°red = –2.71 V • 2.) Anode: 2Cl–(aq) → Cl2(g) + 2 e–E°red = +1.36 V • 3.) Cathode:2H2O(l) + 2 e– → H2(g) + 2OH–(aq)     E°red = –0.83 V • 4.) Anode: 2 H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4 e–E°red = +1.23 V

  35. The presence of water in a solution of sodium chloride must be examined in respect to its reduction and oxidation in both electrodes. Usually, water is electrolysed as mentioned in electrolysis of water yielding gaseous oxygen in the anode and gaseous hydrogen in the cathode. On the other hand, sodium chloride in water dissociates in Na+ and Cl– ions, cation, which is the positive ion, will be attracted to the cathode (+), thus reducing the sodium ion. The anion will then be attracted to the anode (–) oxidizing chloride ion.

  36. Reaction 1 is discarded as it has the most negative value on standard reduction potential thus making it less thermodynamically favorable in the process. • When comparing the reduction potentials in reactions 2 and 4, the reduction of chloride ion is favored. Thus, if the Cl– ion is favored for reduction, then the water reaction is favored for oxidation producing gaseous oxygen, however experiments show gaseous chlorine is produced and not oxygen.

  37. Although the initial analysis is correct, there is another effect that can happen, known as the overvoltage effect. Additional voltage is sometimes required, beyond the voltage predicted by the E°cell. This may be due to kinetic rather than thermodynamic considerations. In fact, it has been proven that the activation energy for the chloride ion is very low, hence favorable in kinetic terms. In other words, although the voltage applied is thermodynamically sufficient to drive electrolysis, the rate is so slow that to make the process proceed in a reasonable time frame, the voltage of the external source has to be increased (hence, overvoltage).[27]

  38. Finally, reaction 3 is favorable because it describes the proliferation of OH- ions thus letting a probable reduction of H+ ions less favorable an option. • The overall reaction for the process according to the analysis would be the following:[27]

  39. Anode (oxidation): 2 Cl–(aq) → Cl2(g) + 2 e– • Cathode (reduction):2H2O(l) + 2 e– → H2(g) + 2 OH–(aq) • Overall reaction: • 2 H2O + 2 Cl–(aq) → H2(g) + Cl2(g) + 2 OH–(aq) • OR • 2NaCl + 2 H2O → H2(g) + Cl2(g) + 2NaOH

  40. As the overall reaction indicates, the concentration of chloride ions is reduced in comparison to OH– ions (whose concentration increases). The reaction also shows the production of gaseous hydrogen, chlorine and aqueous sodium hydroxide.
