4 A lemon can power a small light bulb. Where does the energy come from? RedOx reactions move electrons from one element to another. Moving electrons is electricity.

5 Electrochemistry Zn(s) + Cu 2+ (aq) → Zn 2+ (aq) + Cu(s)

6 2e - Zn(s) + Cu 2+ (aq) → Zn 2+ (aq) + Cu(s) Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → + Cu Electrochemistry

7 Can we separate these half-reactions? Zn(s) + Cu 2+ (aq) → Zn 2+ (aq) + Cu(s) Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → + Cu

8 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu Electrochemistry

9 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu Electrochemistry

10 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 1 st problem: No way to pass electrons from zinc to copper. Electrochemistry

11 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 1 st problem: No way to pass electrons from zinc to copper. Solution: Add a wire. Electrochemistry

12 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 1 st problem: No way to pass electrons from zinc to copper. Solution: Add a wire. Electrochemistry

13 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 2 nd problem: Buildup of plus and minus charges. Electrochemistry

14 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 2 nd problem: Buildup of plus and minus charges. Solution: A salt bridge. Electrochemistry

15 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 2 nd problem: Buildup of plus and minus charges. Solution: A salt bridge. Electrochemistry

16 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 2 nd problem: Buildup of plus and minus charges. Solution: A salt bridge. Electrochemistry

17 Zn → Zn 2+ + 2e - Cu 2+ + 2e - → Cu 2 nd problem: Buildup of plus and minus charges. Solution: A salt bridge. Electrochemistry

18 oxidation reduction A salt bridge is made of salt dissolved in gel. Ions can cross the bridge, but the solutions in the two beakers cannot. Electrochemistry

19 oxidation reduction This is a kind of electrochemical cell called a voltaic cell. Electrochemistry
