I. Electrolysis

� Driving a nonspon. redox rxn with electrical current.

� Cu(s) + Zn2+(aq) à Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq)

� E° = –1.10 V

� Overpotential: excess V above V calculated w/ E° that is req’d for electrolysis.

I. Electrolysis

� Faraday’s Law: Amt. of chem. change produced proportional to the amt. of current passed through it.

� Ex. #1: How much Cu(s) can be deposited if you run a current for 3.0 min. @ 2.0 amps.
