Learning Outcomes
• To solve numericals on cell reaction and Nernst
equation.
How do we write a cell reaction?
Lets start with the Construction of Daniell cell:
How do we write a cell reaction?
Lets start with the Construction of Daniell cell:
Can you mention
the anode and
cathode?
How do we write a cell reaction?
The cell reaction is as follows:
• This cell converts the chemical
energy liberated during the redox
reaction into electrical energy.
• If an external opposite potential
is applied and increased slowly, we
find that the reaction continues to
take place till the opposing voltage
reaches the value 1.1 V.
• The reaction stops altogether and no
current flows through the cell.
How do we write a cell reaction?
The cell reaction is as follows:
• Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s)
What do we write
standard form of
cell reaction?
How do we write a cell reaction?
The cell reaction is as follows:
• Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s)
Zn | Zn2+ || Cu2+ | Cu
Let us consider the left-hand side of the standard cell.
Zn | Zn2+
• The Left-hand side is always the anode.
• Oxidation takes place at the anode.
• The half-cell with the more negative potential is always
taken as the anode.
• In oxidation there is always loss of electrons.
Therefore the oxidation half-cell reaction is:
Zn → Zn2+ + 2e-
How do we write a cell reaction?
The cell reaction is as follows:
• Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s)
Zn | Zn2+ || Cu2+ | Cu
Let us consider the left-hand side of the standard cell.
Cu2+| Cu
• The Right-hand side is always the cathode.
• Reduction takes place at the cathode.
• The half-cell with the more positive potential is always
taken as the cathode.
• In reduction there is always gain of electrons.
Therefore the reduction half-cell reaction is:
Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu
How do we write a cell reaction?
So how do we
write the overall
cell reaction?
How do we write a cell reaction?
We know that:
Oxidation Reaction: Zn → Zn2+ + 2e-
Reduction Reaction: Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu
So, for overall reaction we add both the reactions
together.
The 2 electrons on both the sides of the half-cell get
cancelled.
Overall Reaction: Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s)
