The Nernst Equation02:59

The Nernst Equation

46.4K
Nonstandard Reaction Conditions
The interconnection between standard cell potentials and various thermodynamic parameters such as the standard free energy change ΔG° and equilibrium constant K has been previously explored. For example, a redox reaction involving zinc(II) and tin(II) ions at 1 M concentration with Eºcell = +0.291 V and ΔG° = −56.2 kJ is spontaneous.

Electrolysis

30.0K
In a galvanic cell, the electrical work is done by a redox system on its surroundings as electrons produced by the spontaneous redox reactions are transferred through an external circuit. Alternatively, an external circuit does work on a redox system by imposing a voltage sufficient to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction in a process known as electrolysis. For instance, recharging a battery involves the use of an external power source to drive the spontaneous (discharge) cell reaction in...

Concentration Cells02:41

Concentration Cells

25.4K
A concentration cell is a type of a  voltaic cell constructed by connecting two almost identical half-cells, both based on the same half-reaction and using the same electrode, differing only in the concentration of one redox species. A concentration cell's potential, therefore, is determined only by the concentration difference of the particular redox species.
Consider the following voltaic cell:

Resting Potential Decay01:15

Resting Potential Decay

6.0K
The resting membrane potential of a neuron (-70mV) is sustained due to the selective ion permeability of the membrane. At the resting potential, the membrane is slightly permeable to ions like sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) and highly permeable to potassium ions (K+). Differences in the ions' concentration inside the cell compared to the outside are maintained by membrane transport proteins like channels and pumps.
At rest, the K+ is the main ion that moves across the membrane...

Spontaneous Chemical Reactions
Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Electrochemical Systems
  • Theoretical Modeling

Background:

  • Standard Poisson-Nernst-Planck models are widely used for electrolytic systems.
  • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is crucial for characterizing these systems.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck model with temporal memory.
  • Derived a nonlocal current-density relation accounting for ionic flux memory.
  • Analyzed impedance spectroscopy data from NH4Cl-glycerol solutions.

Main Results:

  • The extended model predicts non-Debye relaxation and fractional-like scaling in electrical impedance.
  • Demonstrated the transition between normal and anomalous diffusion regimes governed by the memory kernel.
  • Achieved accurate fits to experimental impedance spectroscopy data.

Conclusions:

  • Temporal memory effects are relevant for understanding transport in complex fluids.
