⚡ 2. Electrochemical Cells & The LOAN Rule
An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy from a spontaneous redox reaction into electrical energy (Galvanic / Voltaic cell) or uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous transformation (Electrolytic cell).
• Left side electrode
• Oxidation occurs here
• Anode
• Negative polarity
Cell Representation: Anode | Anodic Electrolyte (conc.) || Cathodic Electrolyte (conc.) | Cathode
Example (Daniell Cell): Zn(s) | Zn2+(aq, 1 M) || Cu2+(aq, 1 M) | Cu(s)
📝 3. High-Yield Electrochemistry Formulas
• Gibbs Free Energy: ΔG = −nFEcell | ΔG° = −nFE°cell
• Nernst Equation (at 298 K / 25 °C):
Ecell = E°cell − (0.0591 / n) × log10 Q
• Equilibrium Constant: E°cell = (0.0591 / n) × log10 Keq
• Specific Conductance (κ): κ = (1 / R) × (l / A) = G × G* (S cm−1)
• Molar Conductivity (Λm): Λm = (κ × 1000) / M (S cm2 mol−1)
🧪 4. Electrolytic Conductance & Kohlrausch’s Law
Kohlrausch’s Law of Independent Migration of Ions: At infinite dilution, when dissociation of the electrolyte is complete and interionic attractions vanish, each ion contributes a distinct molar conductivity irrespective of the accompanying ion.
Essential Applications:
1. Calculation of limiting molar conductance for weak electrolytes (e.g., CH3COOH).
2. Degree of Dissociation (α): α = Λmc / Λ°m
3. Dissociation Constant of Weak Acid: Ka = (c α2) / (1 − α)

🎯 6. Solved Representative Exam Problems (NEET & JEE)
Problem: Calculate the emf of the cell at 298 K:
Mg(s) | Mg2+(0.001 M) || Cu2+(0.0001 M) | Cu(s)
Given: E°(Mg2+/Mg) = −2.37 V, E°(Cu2+/Cu) = +0.34 V.
1. Cell Reaction: Mg(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Mg2+(aq) + Cu(s) → n = 2.
2. Standard Cell Potential:
E°cell = E°cathode − E°anode = 0.34 − (−2.37) = +2.71 V.
3. Reaction Quotient (Q):
Q = [Mg2+] / [Cu2+] = (10−3) / (10−4) = 10.
4. Applying Nernst Equation:
Ecell = E°cell − (0.0591 / n) × log10 Q
Ecell = 2.71 − (0.0591 / 2) × log10(10) = 2.71 − 0.0295 = 2.68 V.

Master the standard cell potential calculations (LOAN rule), practice Nernst equation numericals with log values, and memorize Kohlrausch’s law applications. Revising these handwritten notes alongside solving 10 years of PYQs guarantees high conceptual accuracy.
Specific conductance (κ) represents the conductance of ions present in 1 cm3 of solution. On dilution, the number of current-carrying ions per unit volume decreases, reducing conductivity. However, molar conductivity (Λm = κ × V) increases because the increase in volume containing one mole of electrolyte is far greater than the decrease in specific conductance.
A salt bridge fulfills two vital roles: (1) it completes the electrical circuit by allowing ion flow between the two half-cells, and (2) it maintains electrical neutrality in each half-cell, preventing liquid junction potential buildup.
