1 Electrolysis 2 Types of electrochemistry 1. Battery or Voltaic Cell – Purpose? 2. Electrolysis - forces a current through a cell to produce a chemical change that would not otherwise occur.

2 Figure 18.6: Schematic of one cell of the lead battery. Pb + H 2 SO 4  PbSO 4 + 2H + + 2e - Anode PbO 2 + H 2 SO 4 + 2e - + 2H +  PbSO 4 + 2H 2 O Cathode

3 Electrolysis of salt water Na +, Cl -, and H 2 0 are present Possible oxidation reactions. 2Cl -  Cl 2 + 2e - 2H 2 O  O 2 + 4H + + 4e - Possible reduction reactions Na + + e -  Na 2e - + 2H 2 O  H 2 + 2OH -

4 Electroplating A thin layer of one metal is deposited onto another. There is normally only one solution that supplies the metal needed. + - Sn 2+ FeSn Sn  Sn 2+ + 2e - Sn 2+ + 2e -  Sn

5 Electrochemical Cells Comparison Voltaic Cells 2 cells 2 solutions Saltbridge Anode/oxidation e- flow e- flow  anode  cathode  oxid.  red Electrolysis 1 cell 1 solution Anode/oxidation e- flow e- flow  anode  cathode  oxid.  red

6 Purpose of Electrolysis Production of metals from their ores Pure aluminum was very rare until electrolysis was used Today production consumes 4.5% of all electricity in the United States

7 Drawing Electroplating Draw the electroplating of silver onto another metal Make sure to label the half reactions, anode, cathode, direction of electron flow, and direction of ion flow

8 Jumpstarting a car Order?  Positive leads then negative on good battery. Finally ground other lead far from battery Why?  Avoiding a spark with the hydrogen and oxygen gases
