Oxidation at the Anode

Reduction at the Cathode

S.H.E. is standard hydrogen electrode (2H+ + 2e- → H2)

Gibbs free energy = - n * F * E Cell

  • n = moles of e-

  • F = 96485C / mole e-

  • E Cell = cell potential

Galvanic cell

Spontaneous

Non spontaneous

G < 0

G > 0

E Cell > 0

E Cell < 0

Thermodynamically favorable

Thermodynamically unfavorable

Positive ions leave the anode (-) and electrons travel to the cathode (+).

Positive ions flow to cathode (-).

Anions flow to anode.

External power source

Chemical energy → electrical energy

Electrical energy → chemical energy

Electrons always flow anode to cathode.

Charge = A*S

  • A = Current

  • S = Time in seconds

The Electrolysis of water

2H2O → 2H2 + O2

H+ goes to cathode to be reduced

Cathode: 2H+ + 2e- → H2

Anode: 2O2 → 2e- + O2

H2SO4 is added as a catalyst
