Electrochemistry: some concepts Reduction halfreaction Oxidizing agent + νe- → Reducing agent Oxidant +

Electrochemistry: some concepts Reduction halfreaction Oxidizing agent + νe- → Reducing agent Oxidant + νe- → Reductant Ox + νe- → Reducing agent → Oxidizing agent + νe- Oxidation halfreaction Reductant → Oxidant + νe. Red → Ox + νe- 1

Electrochemistry: some concepts Reduction halfreaction Total Oxidizing agent + νe- → Reducing agent Oxidant

Electrochemistry: some concepts Reduction halfreaction Total Oxidizing agent + νe- → Reducing agent Oxidant + νe- → Reductant Ox + νe- → Red Ox 1 + Red 2 + νe- → Red 1 + Ox 2 + νereaction Ox 1 + Red 2 → Red 1 + Ox 2 Reduction 1 Oxidation 2 5 x + 2

Electrochemistry: some concepts Ox 1 + Red 2 → Red 1 + Ox 2

Electrochemistry: some concepts Ox 1 + Red 2 → Red 1 + Ox 2 But what about the reverse reaction? Red 1 + Ox 2 → Ox 1 + Red 2 Ox 2 + Red 1 → Red 2 + Ox 1 Electrochemical Equilibrium reaction → Will it run spontaneously to the right or to the left? → Where lies the equilibrium? 3
