Cell Potential
L.O.: Construct redox equations using half-equations or oxidation numbers. Describe how to make an electrochemical cell.
An oxidation number is a measure of the number of electrons that an atom uses to bond with atoms of another element.
Each element in a compound is given an oxidation number.
Species Oxidation number
examples
Uncombined element
0 C, Na, O2, H2, P4, Cl2
Combined oxygen
-2 H2O, CaO
Combined Hydrogen
+1 NH3, H2S
Simple ion Charge on ion Na+, Mg2+, Cl-1
Combined fluorine
-1 NaF, CaF2
Species Oxidation number
examples
Combined group 1
+1 NaCl
Combined group 2
+2 MgCl2
The sum of the oxidation numbers must equal the overall charge.
Oxidation states.
•F = -1
•Cl = -1
•O = -2
•H = +1

Electrode Potentials
know the IUPAC convention for writing half-equations for electrode reactions.
Know and be able to use the conventional representation of cells.
Know that standard electrode potential, E , refers to conditions of 298 K, 100 kPa and 1.00 mol dm−3 solution of ions.
Half-cell: an elements in two oxidation states.
Zn2+(aq) + 2 e– Zn(s)
Zn2+(aq) + 2e¯ -> Zn(s) E° = - 0.76V
The electrode potential of the half cell indicates its tendency to lose or gain electrons.
The standard electrode potential of a half-cell, is the e.m.f of a cell compared with a standard hydrogen half-cell, measured at 298 K with a solution concentration of 1 mol dm-3 and a gas pressure of 100KPa
Standard Conditions
Concentration 1.0 mol dm-3 (ions involved in ½ equation)

At this electrode the metal loses
electrons and so is oxidised to metal
ions.
These electrons make the electrode
negative.
At this electrode the metal ions gain
electrons and so is reduced to metal
atoms.
As electrons are used up, this makes the electrode positive.

GOLDEN RULE
The more +ve electrode gains electrons
(+ charge attracts electrons)
Electrodes with negative emf are better at releasing electrons (better reducing agents).
