2. Electrochemistry

Cells

Cell potential
Ecell∘=Ecathode∘−Eanode∘\displaystyle E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}}
Nernst equation

Conductance

Resistance
R=ρlA\displaystyle R = \rho\frac{l}{A}
Conductivity
κ=1ρ=G∗R\displaystyle \kappa = \frac{1}{\rho} = \frac{G^*}{R}

G* is the cell constant, l/A.

Molar conductivity
Λm=κ×1000C\displaystyle \Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa\times1000}{C}

κ in S cm⁻¹ and C in mol L⁻¹.

Kohlrausch's law

Λm=Λm∘−AC\displaystyle \Lambda_m = \Lambda_m^\circ - A\sqrt{C}
Degree of dissociation
α=ΛmΛm∘\displaystyle \alpha = \frac{\Lambda_m}{\Lambda_m^\circ}

Electrolysis

Faraday's first law
m=ZIt=EItF\displaystyle m = ZIt = \frac{EIt}{F}

E is the equivalent weight, and F = 96500 C/mol.

Faraday's second law
m1m2=E1E2\displaystyle \frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{E_1}{E_2}

3. Chemical Kinetics

Rate

Rate law
rate=k[A]x[B]y\displaystyle \text{rate} = k[A]^x[B]^y

Order x + y comes from experiment, not the balanced equation.

Units of k
(mol L−1)1−n s−1\displaystyle (\text{mol L}^{-1})^{1 - n}\,\text{s}^{-1}

n is the order.

Integrated rate equations

Zero order
[R]=[R]0−kt,t1/2=[R]02k\displaystyle [R] = [R]_0 - kt, \quad t_{1/2} = \frac{[R]_0}{2k}
First order
k=2.303tlog⁡[R]0[R]\displaystyle k = \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[R]_0}{[R]}
First order half-life
t1/2=0.693k\displaystyle t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k}

Doesn't depend on initial concentration.

Temperature

Arrhenius equation
k=Ae−Ea/RT\displaystyle k = Ae^{-E_a/RT}
Two temperatures
log⁡k2k1=Ea2.303R(T2−T1T1T2)\displaystyle \log\frac{k_2}{k_1} = \frac{E_a}{2.303R}\left(\frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1T_2}\right)
