Chapter 2 Electrochemistry of the Chalcogens Chapter 2 Electrochemistry of the Chalcogens 2.1 General References Because of their multiple oxidation states, the chalcogens, particularly sulfur, can engage in numerous redox couples participating in acid–base, oxidation–reduction, precipitation, and complexation equilibria. In the anion electrochemical series, sulfur, being the less noble element com- pared to its heavier congeners, occupies an intermediate position between iodine and selenium [(+)F, Cl, Br, I, S, Se, Te(–)]. Selenium, regarded as a metalloid, is a relatively noble element. Tellurium is rather an amphoteric element: it can enter into solution in the form of both cations and anions. Regarded as a metal, i.e., with respect to its cations, tellurium occupies a position between copper and mercury. Regarded as a metalloid, i.e., with respect to its anions, it is located on the extreme right of the above series. A comprehensive survey of the classical electrochemical facts for sulfur, sele- nium, and tellurium, as documented until about 1970, can be found in the reviews of Zhdanov [1], wherefrom we cite the lists of standard and formal potentials for aqueous solutions, in Tables 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, respectively. Many of these potentials have been calculated thermodynamically since the experimental determinations are few. The listed data are largely drawn from the monograph by Pourbaix (below), and the interested reader should validate the measurement conditions for the indicated potentials or the scatter in their values (not given here in detail). In these tables, the redox systems are assorted by decreasing formal valency of chalcogen in the oxi- dized state, while at a given valency of the oxidized state they appear in the order of decreasing valency of chalcogen in the reduced state. Latimer [2] has compiled useful aqueous redox transition potential diagrams (reproduced also in Zhdanov’s monographs) that are convenient as a quick guide in practical problems and for perceiving the oxidation–reduction properties of some chalcogen hydride and oxy- chalcogenide species. Standard potentials of chalcogens in non-aqueous media are generally not known, at least in a systematic manner. A standard approach for the theoretical presentation of electrochemical equilibria is the use of Pourbaix, or potential–pH predominance area diagrams, which incor- porate chemical and electrochemical thermodynamics simultaneously in a straight- forward manner. These diagrams comprise an extremely useful, yet fundamental, M. Bouroushian, Electrochemistry of Metal Chalcogenides, Monographs 57 in Electrochemistry, DOI 10.1007/978-3-642-03967-6_2, C Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 58 2 Electrochemistry of the Chalcogens starting point for the study of electrochemical systems. Certainly, the ability to predict, understand, and ultimately control electrochemical reactions requires also knowledge of process kinetics. Reproduced below are the potential–pH diagrams for the chalcogen–water systems as originally derived and illustrated by Pourbaix [3], along with some accompanying data. These will serve as a guide to all subsequent discussion on aqueous systems used for electrochemical preparations of metal chalcogenides. The reader may take notice of the chalcogen-containing substances that are considered to be present in the electrolytes and their stability domains. The diagrams repre- sent, almost exclusively, the important “valencies” of the chalcogens, namely –2, +4, and +6 (and not effective oxidation states corresponding, e.g., to polysulfides and the like). Still, all known substances for each chalcogen, either stable in water or not, are registered here, in order to serve as a useful basis for the formulae and nomenclature used in the rest of the book. Note that the parts of the Pourbaix dia- grams outside the zero activity lines (log C = 0) regard ideal solutions containing 1 M of dissolved chalcogen in the forms considered, and the parts inside these lines regard solutions saturated with solid chalcogen (plus TeO2 in the case of tellurium). The diagrams are valid only in the absence of substances with which the respective chalcogen can form soluble complexes or insoluble salts. It is considered useful to include here the potential–pH diagram for some redox systems related to oxygen (Fig. 2.1) [4]. Lines 11 and 33 correspond to the (a) and (b) dashed lines bounding the stability region of water, as depicted in all the subsequent Pourbaix diagrams.

All matter is composed of atoms. 2. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. 3. All the atoms of an element are identical. 4. The atoms of different elements are different. 5. When chemical reactions take place, atoms of different elements join together to form compounds. J.J.Thomson (1856-1940) 1. Proposed the first model of the atom. 2. 1897- Thomson discovered the electron (negatively- charged) – cathode rays 3. Thomson suggested that an atom is a positively- charged sphere with electrons embedded in it.

VLISEDIS , ABSTRACT A method for the determination of sulfate and sulfide sulfur that occur together in rocks or minerals is presented. All the sulfate sulfur is converted to barium sulfate in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation of any sulfide sulfur. Cadmium chloride is added to precipitate any sulfide ion that may be liberated. The sulfate sulfur is then measured indirectly by the determination of the barium and is therefore unaffected by any. subsequent oxidation of the sulfide sulfur.

  • Is Selenium a Metal, Non-Metal Or Metalloid?
    Is Selenium a metal, non-metal or metalloid? Abstract Is selenium(Se) a metal, non-metal, or a metalloid? There are various public opinions circulating around it. Since a long time from now, there are a lot of voices discussing this. Even until now, there is still no consensus about it. So, in this project, we are trying to find out whether selenium is a non-metal, metal or metalloids base on its physical and chemical properties which could be studied in the secondary school combining with the other information from the internet. Principles and hypothesis Studied from the secondary school chemistry, the general properties of metals include being good conductors of heat and electricity, having high melting and boiling points. Non-metals generally have a lower melting point and boiling point than metals and they being poor conductors of heat and electricity, etc. And the physical properties of metalloids are having extremely high melting/ boiling point, and having fair electrical conductivity. On the other hand, the oxides of metal are generally basic whereas the oxide of non-metals and metalloids are generally acidic. We will define selenium’s chemical category based on the above properties. Besides, we would like to introduce the concept of displacement reaction in studying the chemical properties of the chalcogens(e.g. sulphur(S) and selenium(Se)), especially selenium such rarely mentioned element. We can assume selenium is a metal if selenium could displace a metal oxide or a metal could displace selenium (IV) oxide. If selenium is a non-metal, its oxide could be displaced by sulphur which is supposed to be more reactive than selenium in the chalcogen group.
