Typically, the electrolytes are in electrical contact through a salt bridge. An external metal conductor connects the electrodes. A cathode is an electrode where reduction occurs An anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs -Electrochemical Cells are either galvanic or electrolytic galvanic cells store and supply electrical energy (ex.

The number of atoms of each element and the net charge on each side of the equation must be in balance so for the oxidation of Fe2+ by MnO4- the half reactions would be:–MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- ↔ Mn2+ + 4H2O–5Fe2+ ↔ 5Fe3+ + 5e-•The net charge for the first half reaction is (-1 – 5 + 8) = +2 which is the same on the right side. For the second half reaction it must by multiplied by 5 so that the number of electrons lost by Fe equals the number gained by MnO4. The balanced net equation for the reaction would be:–MnO4- + 5Fe2+ + 8H+ ↔ Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2OProblem 16-7•a) 2Fe3+ + Sn2+ 2Fe2+ + Sn4+•b) Cr + 3Ag+ Cr3+ + 3Ag•c) 2NO3- + Cu + 4H+ 2NO2 + 2H2O + Cu2+•d) 2MnO4- + 5H2SO3 2Mn2+ + 5SO42- + 4H+ + 3H20•e) Ti3+ + Fe(CN)63- + H2O TiO2+ + Fe(CN)64- + 2H+•f) H2O2 + 2Ce4+ O2 + 2Ce3+ + 2H+•g) 2Ag + 2I- + Sn4+ 2AgI + Sn2+•h) UO22+ + Zn + 4H+ U4+ + Zn2+ + 2H2O•i) 5HNO2 + 2MnO4- + H+ 5NO3- + 2Mn2+ + 3H2O•j) H2NNH2 + IO3- +2H+ + 2Cl N2 + ICl2- + 3H2ORedox Reactions in Redox Reactions in Electrochemical CellsElectrochemical Cells•Types- –reaction is performed by direct contact between the oxidant and the reductant in a suitable container.–The reactants do not come in contact with one another, salt bridge employed.- a salt bridge prevents the mixing of the contents of the 2 electrolyte solutions making up electrochemical cellsSource: www.public.asu.edu/~laserweb/woodbury/classes/chm341/lecture_set10/lecture10.html- an array consisting of 2 or 3 electrodes, each of - an array consisting of 2 or 3 electrodes, each of which is in contact with an electrolyte solution. which is in contact with an electrolyte solution.
