MAIN FOCUS: To identify the voltage change in a voltaic cell due to Le Chatelier’s Principle with changes in the concentrations of ions in half cells, specifically when a precipitate is made.  
1. Quick Review of the LeChateliers principle worksheet p.pdf – Keep connecting to the U diagram
LeChateliers principle worksheet KEY 2012 p.pdf
View Download
2.  Revisit the Classroom Daniell cell and predict voltage 
     by diluting the Reduction half cell ( Cu/Cu+2 ) or Blue One with water!!!
 
    By adding water Cu+2 ion solution (molarity) decreased and thus the 
    Voltage Decreased!!!!   Explained in terms of LeChateliers Principle and Spontaneity!
 
                                                  Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
                                          Stress:                              decreases
                                   Response:                  <—————– Shift =  voltage drop! 
                                                                                                                     (lowers spontaneity of forward reaction)
 
            The reverse is now favored more than it was which LOWERS the forwards reactions 
            pathways or spontaneity, which results in lowering the voltage!
 
       Last Friday I added water to the copper half cell and the voltage increased because I was     
       decreasing the molarity of the concentration of the Zn+2  ions.
 
                                                  Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
                                          Stress:                                                           decreases
                                   Response:                  Shift ———————> = Voltage increase!
                                                                                                                     (increases spontaneity of forward reaction)
 
We can decrease the concentration of dissolves ions (aq) another way besides adding water.
 
3.  Precipitation reaction demo – Double replacement reactions or precipitation reactions- 
     Net ion reaction written to eliminate spectators!

    A) Wrote the precipitation reaction between lead (II) nitrate and potassium nitrate.
          We used the following worksheet:
 
    B) Particular Diagrams
    C) Identified the precipitate.
 
    D) Performed the demonstration.
Today’s demonstration:
 
4.  Revisit the Classroom Daniell cell and predict voltage by making the Zn+2 ions precipitate out with Na2CO3 
     being added to the Zn/Zn+2 half cell.
 
     *By adding Na2CO3 I was really delivering CO32 ions to the oxidation half cell because Na2CO3 is soluble due to the group one ion (Na+) that has weak Coulombic attractions with the CO3in the salt (ionic compound).
 
                                                        Na2CO3 (s)  —->  2 Na(aq)   +  CO3-2 (aq)
 Then CO3-2 reacted with Zn+2  to form a precipitate, which takes  Zn+2  out of the solution.  
                                       Zn+2 (aq)   +    CO3-2 (aq) ——>   ZnCO3 (s) which is a precipitate = insoluble
 
Lowering the  Zn+2  will cause the overall reaction in the Daniell cell to “shift” Right or be move spontaneous in the forward direction increasing the voltage.
 
                                                 Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
                                          Stress:                                                          decreases
                                   Response:               Shift —————–>
 
        The forward reaction is now more favorable or spontaneous than the reverse thus 
        the voltage increases (becomes more positive)!
 
Video of the shifts on the Daniell cell that were described today in the notes above.

*Notice that the voltage does drop after the initial decrease of the voltage from creating the precipitate.

          A) Dilution of an ion:  Adding water that will lower the molarity = ratio of amount of ions to volume of water
           B) Adding a salt that causes a precipitate that lowers the molarity of an ion. question 1Intro Voltaic Cells   
                                                                                                                                                                                                 worksheet 2 – skills
           C)  Adding a salt that provides a common ion.   question 2Intro Voltaic Cells 
                                                                                                                                       worksheet 2 – skills
 
* B) and C) only have an effect on changing voltage or spontaneity of the forward direction of the redox reaction if the ion that is effected is in the overall reaction! For the Daniell cell is must be:
 
                                                    Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
 
So only the Cu+2  or  Zn+2   are the ions and their concentration changes that can create a stress that will cause the reaction to shift (become more favorable).  If the ion is NOT COMMON to the overall reaction of the redox reaction (in the voltaic cell) then there will no effect on spontaneity or voltage.
 
Positive volts = Favorable Pathway = Spontaneous = entropy of universe (∆S) increasing = energy dispersed = obtain Free Energy (∆G) to do work (power our phones!)

START YOUR CONCLUSION.
 

 Conclusion Writing:

 
1.  What did find or measure Quantitatively?  What are the important values of your data?  This is normally posted in your results section of a formal writeup. How accurate are you (how close are you to a known standard, E0 cell )?
 
2.  Make the leap!  = connect your quantitative value and comparison with the known standard in terms of atom/ions or particle to explain a possibly reason for the outcome.
 
3. Error discussion.
Every laboratory is limited in errors in measurement and human errors. Do not write about these!! Please describe in detail every major limitation of this laboratory and why you believe it may have lead to your outcome.
IN this Lab the error discussion will result from things that are NOT FROM YOUR LEAP!  Do nor just list errors. I want an explaination how these errors could of resulted in YOUR OUTCOME.
 
Lab 1 Conclusion review:
 
1. Please tell me what you measured (voltage) and calculated (percent error). Do not mince words.  Get to the point. This is like our results section last year in our formal labs.
 
2/3:  Explain your errors (why your percent error was so low or negative).  You will combine the leap with the error analysis here.  The leap last year was always about an organism and the leap this year is always about atoms or ions.  So what did the atoms or ions do that may have contributed to the large negative error?  There is one error that is the largest and I like to think of it as a love triangle between Mg, Cu+2 , and H2O.  I think this was the inspiration to Ed Sheeran’s song, Happier.
 
Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another’s arms
Only a month we’ve been apart
You look happier
Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do
Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain’t nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you’re moving on with someone new
‘Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I’ll feel it too
And until then I’ll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you
Sat on the corner of the room
Everything’s reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you’re happier
Aren’t you?
Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain’t…
This cell was left over night.  Notice the Mg electrode is smaller and the cloudy mixture.  Were there precipitates?
How did this contribute to the error?  Or was this a competing error?  Notice some of the precipitates seem to be bluish green, which is an indication that Copper precipitates were also made.

Lead Acid Battery Form 2021

 

 
 
 

Lead acid Battery (Car Battery):

How It Works

Let me give you the big picture first for those who aren’t very detail oriented. Basically, when a battery is being discharged, the sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is being depleted so that the electrolyte more closely resembles water. At the same time, sulfate from the acid is coating the plates and reducing the surface area over which the chemical reaction can take place. Charging reverses the process, driving the sulfate back into the acid. That’s it in a nutshell, but read on for a better understanding. If you’ve already run from the room screaming and pulling your hair, don’t worry.

The electrolyte (sulfuric acid and water) contains charged ions of sulfate and hydrogen. The sulfate ions are negatively charged, and the hydrogen ions have a positive charge. Here’s what happens when you turn on a load (headlight, starter, etc). The sulfate ions move to the negative plates and give up their negative charge. The remaining sulfate combines with the active material on the plates to form lead sulfate. This reduces the strength of the electrolyte, and the sulfate on the plates acts as an electrical insulator. The excess electrons flow out the negative side of the battery, through the electrical device, and back to the positive side of the battery. At the positive battery terminal, the electrons rush back in and are accepted by the positive plates. The oxygen in the active material (lead dioxide) reacts with the hydrogen ions to form water, and the lead reacts with the sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate.

The ions moving around in the electrolyte are what create the current flow, but as the cell becomes discharged, the number of ions in the electrolyte decreases and the area of active material available to accept them also decreases because it’s becoming coated with sulfate. Remember, the chemical reaction takes place in the pores on the active material that’s bonded to the plates.

MAIN FOCUS: To identify the voltage change in a voltaic cell due to Le Chatelier’s Principle with changes in the concentrations of ions in half cells, specifically when a precipitate is made.  
 
1. Quick Review of the LeChateliers principle worksheet p.pdf – Keep connecting to the U diagram
LeChateliers principle worksheet KEY 2012 p.pdf
View Download
2.  Revisit the Classroom Daniell cell and predict voltage 
     by diluting the Reduction half cell ( Cu/Cu+2 ) or Blue One with water!!!
 
    By adding water Cu+2 ion solution (molarity) decreased and thus the 
    Voltage Decreased!!!!   Explained in terms of LeChateliers Principle and Spontaneity!
 
                                                  Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
                                          Stress:                              decreases
                                   Response:                  <—————– Shift =  voltage drop! 
                                                                                                                     (lowers spontaneity of forward reaction)
 
            The reverse is now favored more than it was which LOWERS the forwards reactions 
            pathways or spontaneity, which results in lowering the voltage!
 
       Last Friday I added water to the copper half cell and the voltage increased because I was     
       decreasing the molarity of the concentration of the Zn+2  ions.
 
                                                  Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
                                          Stress:                                                           decreases
                                   Response:                  Shift ———————> = Voltage increase!
                                                                                                                     (increases spontaneity of forward reaction)
 
We can decrease the concentration of dissolves ions (aq) another way besides adding water.
 
3.  Precipitation reaction demo – Double replacement reactions or precipitation reactions- 
     Net ion reaction written to eliminate spectators!
 
Net Ion Reaction Intro – Precipitation 1920.pdf
View Download
 
    A) Wrote the precipitation reaction between lead (II) nitrate and potassium nitrate.
          We used the following worksheet:
 
    B) Particular Diagrams
    C) Identified the precipitate.
 
    D) Performed the demonstration.
Today’s demonstration:
 
4.  Revisit the Classroom Daniell cell and predict voltage by making the Zn+2 ions precipitate out with Na2CO3 
     being added to the Zn/Zn+2 half cell.
 
     *By adding Na2CO3 I was really delivering CO32 ions to the oxidation half cell because Na2CO3 is soluble due to the group one ion (Na+) that has weak Coulombic attractions with the CO3in the salt (ionic compound).
 
                                                        Na2CO3 (s)  —->  2 Na(aq)   +  CO3-2 (aq)
 Then CO3-2 reacted with Zn+2  to form a precipitate, which takes  Zn+2  out of the solution.  
                                       Zn+2 (aq)   +    CO3-2 (aq) ——>   ZnCO3 (s) which is a precipitate = insoluble
 
Lowering the  Zn+2  will cause the overall reaction in the Daniell cell to “shift” Right or be move spontaneous in the forward direction increasing the voltage.
 
                                                 Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
                                          Stress:                                                          decreases
                                   Response:               Shift —————–>
 
        The forward reaction is now more favorable or spontaneous than the reverse thus 
        the voltage increases (becomes more positive)!
 
Video of the shifts on the Daniell cell that were described today in the notes above.

*Notice that the voltage does drop after the initial decrease of the voltage from creating the precipitate.

          A) Dilution of an ion:  Adding water that will lower the molarity = ratio of amount of ions to volume of water
           B) Adding a salt that causes a precipitate that lowers the molarity of an ion. question 1Intro Voltaic Cells   
                                                                                                                                                                                                 worksheet 2 – skills
           C)  Adding a salt that provides a common ion.   question 2Intro Voltaic Cells 
                                                                                                                                       worksheet 2 – skills
 
* B) and C) only have an effect on changing voltage or spontaneity of the forward direction of the redox reaction if the ion that is effected is in the overall reaction! For the Daniell cell is must be:
 
                                                    Zn0  (s)   +    Cu+2  —–>   Zn+2    +     Cu0
 
So only the Cu+2  or  Zn+2   are the ions and their concentration changes that can create a stress that will cause the reaction to shift (become more favorable).  If the ion is NOT COMMON to the overall reaction of the redox reaction (in the voltaic cell) then there will no effect on spontaneity or voltage.
 
Positive volts = Favorable Pathway = Spontaneous = entropy of universe (∆S) increasing = energy dispersed = obtain Free Energy (∆G) to do work (power our phones!)
