Introduction

Practically in every general chemistry

text-book, one can find a table presenting

the Standard (Reduction) Potentials in

two parts, indicating the reaction

condi-tion: acidic solution and basic solution

In most cases, there is another table

ti-tled Standard Chemical Thermodynamic

Properties (or Selected Thermodynamic

Values) The former table is referred to in

a chapter devoted to Electrochemistry (or

Oxidation – Reduction Reactions), while a

reference to the latter one can be found

in a chapter dealing with Chemical

Ther-modynamics (or Chemical Equilibria) It

is seldom indicated that the two types

of tables contain redundant information

since the standard potential values of a cell

standard molar free (Gibbs) energy change



where n is the charge number of the cell

re-action, which is the stoichiometric number

equal to the number of electrons

trans-ferred in the cell reaction as formulated,

equi-librium constant of the reaction, R is the gas constant, and T is the thermodynamic

standard potential of the electrode

reac-tion (or sometimes called half-cell reacreac-tion),

which is tabulated in the tables mentioned

It is the standard potential of the reaction

in a chemical cell which is equal to thestandard potential of an electrode reaction(abbreviated as standard electrode poten-

It means that the species being oxidized is

related to a reduction This is the reasonwhy we speak of reduction potentials Inthe opposite case, the numerical value

would differ It should be mentioned that

in old books, for example, in Latimer’sbook [1], the other sign convention wasused; however, the International Union

of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)has introduced the unambiguous andauthoritative usage in 1974 [2, 3]

Although the standard potentials, at least

in aqueous solutions, are always related to

reaction (2), that is, the standard

hydro-gen electrode (SHE) (see Ch 18.3), it does

not mean that other reference systems

electro-chemically accessible reaction cannot be

determined by measuring cell potential,

equi-librium The cell as a whole is not at

equilibrium (for if the cell reaction reaches

however, no current flows through the

ex-ternal circuit, with all local charge-transfer

equilibria across phase boundaries (except

at electrolyte–electrolyte junctions) and

lo-cal chemilo-cal equilibria within phases being

established

val-ues in the tables cited are determined

by calorimetry and electrochemical

mea-surements, respectively It is not so; the

way of tabulations mentioned serves

prac-tical purposes only Several

have been determined electrochemically,

especially when these measurements were

easier or were more reliable On the other

mentioned have been determined mostly

by calorimetric measurements since in

many cases – owing to kinetic reasons, too

slow or too violent reactions – it has been

impossible to collect these data by using

the measurement of the electric potential

difference of a cell at suitable conditions

Quotation marks have been used in

a thermodynamic quantity

In some nonaqueous solvents, it is

nec-essary to use a standard reaction other

than the oxidation of molecular

hydro-gen At present, there is no general

choice of a standard reaction

(refer-ence electrode) Although in some cases

the traditional reference electrodes (e.g.saturated calomel, SCE, or silver/silverchloride) can also be used in organic sol-vents, much effort has been taken to findreliable reference reactions The systemhas to meet the following criteria:

1 The reaction should be a one-electrontransfer

2 The reduced form should be a tral molecule, and the oxidized form

neu-a cneu-ation

3 The two components should have largesizes and spherical structures, that

of the solvent (the free energy of iontransfer from one solution to the other

aqueous solutions mostly involving metals

and their ions, oxides and salts, as well as

some other important elements (H, N, O,

S, and halogens) In special books (series),

compli-cated reactions, for example, with the

par-ticipation of metal complexes, and organic

compounds [8–13] The last authoritative

reference work (on the standard potential

in aqueous solutions) [13] – which has

re-placed the classic book of Latimer in this

role – appeared in 1985

on rather old reports The

thermody-namic data have been continuously

re-newed by the US National Institute for

Standards and Technology (NIST, earlier

Technology) and its reports supply reliable

data, which are widely used by the

scien-tific community [14] The numerical values

of the quantities have also been changed

because of the variation of the standard

states and constants Therefore, it is not

different depending on the year of

publi-cation of the books Despite the – usually

slight – difference in the data and their

predicting the course of any redox

reac-tions including electrode processes In the

next subchapter, a short survey of the

ther-modynamic basis of the standard, formal,

and equilibrium potentials, as well as the

experimental access of these data, is given

1.2

Thermodynamic Basis of the Standard,

Formal, and Equilibrium Potentials

In the tables of standard potentials,

usually the equation of electrode (half-cell)

reactions are displayed, for example,

or just an abbreviated form is used:

chemical (cell) reaction formulated byneutral chemical species is

as heterogeneous reactions involving acharge-transfer step at the anode andthe cathode, respectively, while electronsmove through the external circuit, that

is, electric current flows until the tion reaches its equilibrium In galvanic

reac-cells, the electric current (I ) is used for

energy production Technically it is sible to measure the electric potential

pos-difference (E) between the electrodes or

more exactly between the same lic terminals attached to the electrodes

both charge-transfer reactions is high, eachelectrode is at equilibrium, despite thefact that a small current flows There is

no equilibrium at electrolyte–electrolytejunctions; however, in many cases thisjunction potential can be diminished to

a small value (<1 mV) From this

condi-tion, it follows that the accuracy of the

Trang 6

determination of E0 values is limited

to ca 0.1–1 mV, depending on the

sys-tem studied However, the experimental

error of the calorimetric determination

is not much smaller Especially, the

calculation of low temperature values is

sometimes problematic The

thermody-namic quantities are usually given with

an accuracy of 0.1–0.001% For instance,

should be taken into consideration that

the problem is not the possible accuracy

of the measurement of heat (temperature)

accurately

There are several theoretical and

practi-cal difficulties regarding the determination

of the exact values of the standard

poten-tial, which will be pointed out below

1.2.1

The Problem of the Initial and Final States

The free energy functions are defined by

explicit equations in which the variables

are functions of the state of the system

The change of a state function depends

only on the initial and final states It

follows that the change of the Gibbs free

energy (G) at fixed temperature and

pressure gives the limiting value of the

electrical work that could be obtained

from chemical transformations G is

the same for either the reversible or

the explosively spontaneous path (e.g

of (electrical) work is different Under

reversible conditions

Equation (5) shows the fundamental lationship between Gibbs free energychange of the chemical reaction and thecell potential under reversible conditions(potential of the electrochemical cell reac-tion)

re-The calculation of G from the caloric

data is straightforward, independent of thepath, that is, whether the reaction takesplace in a single step or through a series ofsteps by using Hess’s law and Nernst heattheorem [15–17] Furthermore, we can

calculate G for the reaction of interest

from the combination of other reactionsinvolved for which the thermodynamicdata are known However, both theinitial and final states in many casesare hypothetical Even in the case ofmeasurements executed very carefully andaccurately, there might be problems indefining the states of the compounds,

or even metals (!) that take part in thereaction

This is the situation not only forreactions in which many componentsare involved and the product distributionstrongly depends on the ratio of theparticipants (e.g in reaction (3), at lower

which seem to be relatively simple For

the presence of HCl, the whole series

has been identified in aqueous solutions,and polymerization, hydrolysis, as well asformation of mixed valence compounds

Another example is the widely used

high accuracy; however, the usual

prepa-ration methods yield a two-phase mixture

values determined in different

laborato-ries with 1 mV or more An interesting

problem has been addressed recently In

the last 20 years, new scanning probe

tech-niques have been developed With the help

of the electrochemical scanning tunneling

microscopy (ESTM), it is possible to

han-dle metal clusters It was found that for

clusters containing n < 20 Ag atoms, the

2 V than that obtained for the bulk metal

In fact, this is not surprising since

ther-modynamic laws are valid only for high

numbers of atoms, and the small clusters

do not show the properties of a bulk metal,

for example, there is no delocalization, and

the band formation needs a large number

of atoms The effect was explained by the

greater surface energy of small clusters

compared to that of the bulk metal [23, 24]

1.2.2

Standard States and Activities

For ideal multicomponent systems, a

sim-ple linear relationship exists between the

of the mole fraction of solvent and solute,

hypotheti-cal standard state of unit mole fraction of

species i Equation (6) is strictly valid only

in the limit of infinite dilution in the case ofsolutions In order to describe the behav-ior over the entire range of composition

as a dimensionless quantity, the activity

ac-tivity can be expressed on different scalesdepending on the choice of the composi-tion variable (mole fraction, molality, etc.)Mostly, the molality (moles of solute/1 kg

the amount of concentration or, shortly,concentration (moles of solute/volume of

usage of molality is more correct because

in this case, the possible volume changecauses no problem; however, in the major-ity of the experiments in liquid phase there

The deviation from the ideal behavior isdescribed conveniently by a function called

the pressure Depending on the state of

Electrolytes, Mean Activity

Electrolytes contain ions in more orless solvated (hydrated) forms and sol-vent molecules; however, undissociatedmolecules or ion associations, and so onmay also be present The composition of

Trang 8

a solution containing one or more

elec-trolytes can be described defining the mole

ratio or any other concentration of each

ionic species Most of the formulae have a

close resemblance to those of the

nonelec-trolytes There is, however, one important

difference, namely, the concentrations of

all the ionic species are not independent

because the solution as a whole is

elec-trically neutral The electrical neutrality of

the solution can be written as



i

species i, which is a positive integer for

the ratio of the charge carried by ion i to the

charge carried by the proton No solution

of a strong (fully dissociated) electrolyte is

even approximately ideal even at highest

dilution at which accurate measurements

can be made; the infinitely dilute solution

constitutes an idealized limiting case The

activity of the ionic species i can be given as

a i,c = γ i,c ci/c0 or a i,m = γ i,m mi/m0

It should be emphasized that the

The general condition of equilibrium of

a species i between phases α and β is

The electrical potential difference

Cu’) attached to the electrodes

a thermocouple) appears It is another ample that thermodynamically – withoutfurther assumptions, simplifications, andconventions – only the whole cell (cell re-action) can be treated and interpreted

means that not only the standard free

thermody-namics (see Table 2) – but also that of

bar) It causes a difference in the

The Formal Potential (Ec o  )

fre-quently used The purpose of defining

formal potentials is to have a

‘‘condi-tional constant’’ that takes into account the

activity coefficients and side reaction

coef-ficients (chemical equilibria of the redox

species), since in many cases, it is

impos-sible to calculate the resulting deviations

because neither are the thermodynamic

equilibrium constants known, nor is it

possible to calculate the activity

coeffi-cients Therefore, the potential of the cell

reaction and the potential of the

elec-trode reaction are expressed in terms of

concentrations of the oxidized (ox) andreduced (red) forms, respectively TheNernst equation provides the relation-ship between the equilibrium electrodepotential and the composition of the elec-trochemically active species Note that theNernst equation can be used only at equi-librium conditions The formal potential issometimes called as conditional potentialindicating that it relates to specific condi-tions (e.g solution composition), whichusually deviate from the standard con-ditions In this way, the complex oracid–base equilibria are also considered,since the total concentrations of oxidizedand reduced species considered can be de-termined, for example, by potentiometrictitration; however, without a knowledge ofthe actual compositions of the complexes(see our example in Sect 1.2.1.) In the case

of potentiometric titration, the effect of thechange of activity coefficients of the elec-trochemically active components can bediminished by applying inert electrolyte

in high concentration (almost constantionic strength) If the solution equilibriaare known from other sources, it is rel-atively easy to include their parametersinto the respective equations related to

acid–base and the complex equilibria Inacid media, a general equation for the pro-ton transfer accompanying the electrontransfer is

be calculated with the help of the Nernstequation at different pH values Since

At pH > 0, the Hammett acidity

If the peak potential does not shift as afunction of pH, it means that the hydrogenion activity is involved in the same way

as that characteristic of the hydrogen

conclusion can be drawn for the number

of hydrogen ions accompanying the redox

The equilibrium potential can be

On the other hand, the metal–hydrogen

atom bond energy is not too high;

there-fore, it does not hinder the desorption

process

In aqueous solution, the potential

win-dow of stability of water is 1.23 V when

the hydrogen and oxygen evolution are

ki-netically hindered; therefore, it is possible

to achieve a higher cell potential Typical

examples are Hg and Pb, in which log

The determination of equilibrium

(stan-dard) potentials is rather problematic for

several reasons; for instance,

hydroly-sis and disproportionation reactions, the

existence of a large number of

strong dependence on pH and ionic

ex-change processes, and the instability of

the species in contact with water (e.g

oxy-gen evolution; however, these processes

are rather slow)
