Capitolo 19, Problema 121b

A storm has knocked out power to your beach house, and you would like to build a battery from household items to charge your iPhone. You have the following materials. alum in the kitchen, which can be used to make a 1.0 M Al3+ solution bleach, which is a solution that is approximately a 1.0 M in ClO-aluminum foil, a platinum necklace and bologna, which can be used as a salt bridge (b) What voltage can be generated?

Identify the half-reactions for the redox process. The aluminum foil can act as the anode, where Al is oxidized to Al^{3+}, and the ClO^- from bleach can act as the cathode, where it is reduced.
Write the oxidation half-reaction: Al \(\rightarrow\) Al^{3+} + 3e^-.
Write the reduction half-reaction: ClO^- + 2H_2O + 2e^- \(\rightarrow\) Cl^- + 2OH^-.
Use the standard reduction potentials to find the cell potential. Look up the standard reduction potential for each half-reaction: E^\(\circ\)_{Al^{3+}/Al} and E^\(\circ\)_{ClO^-/Cl^-}.
Calculate the standard cell potential (E^\(\circ\)_{cell}) using the formula: E^\(\circ\)_{cell} = E^\(\circ\)_{cathode} - E^\(\circ\)_{anode}.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between electrical energy and chemical reactions. It involves the study of redox reactions, where oxidation and reduction occur, leading to the generation of electrical energy. Understanding electrochemical cells, including galvanic cells, is essential for determining how to create a battery from available materials.

Electrode Potential

Electrode potential refers to the voltage developed at an electrode due to the chemical reaction occurring at its surface. Each half-reaction in an electrochemical cell has a standard electrode potential, which can be used to calculate the overall cell potential. The difference in electrode potentials between the anode and cathode determines the voltage output of the battery.

Salt Bridge

A salt bridge is a device used in electrochemical cells to maintain electrical neutrality by allowing the flow of ions between the two half-cells. It typically contains a gel or solution of an inert electrolyte, which helps to balance the charge as the redox reactions proceed. In this scenario, using bologna as a salt bridge can facilitate ion movement, crucial for the battery's operation.
