A dilute Na2SO4solution is to be electrolyzed with a pair of smooth Pt electrodes at a current density of 100A/m2and a current of 0.100A. The products areH2(g)andO2(g)at1.00barandatbar. Calculate the required voltage if the cell resistance is2.00and there is no concentration polarization. What voltage would be required if the Pt electrodes were replaced by Au electrodes?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The voltage required to electrolyze sodium sulfate with given current and current density is-2.35V The voltage when gold electrodes replaces platinum electrodes is -2.78V.

Step by step solution

01

Concept used.

The voltage of a cell when the electric current is too small,

E=E(cathode)-E(anode)

E is the electrode's potential that is connected to the current source's negative terminal.

The electrode's potential is E(anode), which is connected to the positive terminal of the current source.

Overpotential: Voltage can override the activation energy of a process at an electrode, resulting in overpotential. Overpotential is the needed voltage to apply.

Ohmic potential: In an electrochemical cell, voltage can overcome the electrical resistance of a solution while currentflows. The ohmic potential is the voltage that must be applied.

Eohmic=IR

Concentration Polarization: Polarization is defined as a change in product and reactant concentrations at the electrode's surface, although they are the same in solution.

02

Step 2: The voltage required to electrolyze sodium sulfate with given current and current density.

At cathode:2H++2e-H2gEo=0V

At anode:0.5O2g+2H++2e-H2OE=1.229V

E (cathode)=0-0.059162logPH2[H+|2

E (anode) =1.229-0.059162log1H+2Pe209

Ecell=Ecathode-Eanode=-1.229-0.059162logPH2Po20.5=-1.229VE=Ecell-IR-overpotentials=1.229-0.100A2.00-0.85V-0.068V=2.35V

For gold electrodes, the voltage is,

E=Ecell-IR-overpotentials=1.229-0.100A2.00-0.963V-0.390V=-2.78V

The cyclic voltammogram of the antibiotic chloramphenicol (abbreviated) is shown here. The first cathodic scan goes from 0 to -1.0 V. The first cathodic wave, , is from the reaction RNO2+4e-+4H+RNHOH+H2O. Peak B in the reverse anodic scan could be assigned to RNHOHRNO+2H++2e-. In the second cathodic scan from +0.9 to -0.4 V, the new peak C appears. Write a reaction for peak C and explain why peak C was not seen in the initial scan.
