Green Education through Eco Chemistry

"Green Education" bertujuan untuk melancarkan peningkatan kualitas pendidikan bangsa melalui penerapan "Eco Chemistry", yaitu pembelajaran yang dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan segala sesuatu yang alami, ramah lingkungan, sehat, praktis dan ekonomis. Pembelajaran ini memerlukan motivasi diri, internal maupun eksternal dan kepedulian terhadap lingkungan hidup.

Ide ini muncul sejak dicanangkannya tahun 2011 sebagai Tahun Internasional Kimia yang bertepatan dengan peringatan 100 tahun Marie Curie menerima hadiah nobel sebagai ilmuwan kimia wanita pertama. Sedang pemikiran dasar terungkapnya ide ini disebabkan oleh masalah dunia yang sangat memerlukan perhatian, yaitu "Green House Effect" dan "Global Warming." Tindakan ini merupakan salah satu wujud partisipasi aktif penulis terhadap pelaksanaan program wajib belajar 12 tahun dan "Surabaya Eco School."

Penulis mengajak pembaca untuk menerapkan "Green Education" melalui "Eco Chemistry" dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. "Green Education" berlangsung seumur hidup (Long life Education), sejak janin dalam kandungan ibu hingga akan masuk ke liang kubur. Marilah dengan niat dan tekad yang kuat kita tingkatkan terus pendidikan diantara kita, terutama anak bangsa sebagai generasi penerus. Pendidikan ini dapat berlangsung Dimana saja dan Kapan saja.

Contoh penerapan "Eco Chemistry" dalam pembelajaran di SMA Negeri 16 Surabaya secara bertahap penulis terbitkan dalam bentuk artikel. Pembelajaran "Eco Chemistry" yang dimulai di sekolah, terus dilanjutkan secara bertahap ke masyarakat. Diharapkan melalui terobosan baru ini, yaitu penerapan "Eco Chemistry", masyarakat memahami dan menyadari bahwa kimia sangat berperan dalam kehidupan dan masa depan bangsa. Hal ini sesuai dengan slogan "International Year of Chemistry 2011" (IYC 2011), yaitu Chemistry: Our Life and Our Future" yang telah ditetapkan oleh PBB melalui UNESCO. Insya Allah tujuan pendidikan ini dapat tercapai secara optimal.

DRY CELLS


In the daily life there is a variety of Dry Cells. An example of dry cell is the compact form of the Leclanche cell as shown in the picture. This cell usually we call as a battery. As an anode is a cylindrical Zn container. Cathode used in this cell is Central Graphite rod. The space in between is filled with ammonium chloride, NH4Cl and zinc chloride, ZnCl2. The graphite rod is surrounded by mangan(IV) oxide, MnO2 and carbon.

The voltage of this cell 1.25V to 1.5 V. It does not have a long life because the acidic NH4Cl corrodes the Zinc container. As you know, NH4Cl is a salt that hydrolysed in water, so the pH is less than 7. The hydrogen ions react with zinc to form zinc ions and hydrogen gas. That is why, if you don't use the battery for a certain time, please remove it from your equipment.




ELECTROLYSIS CELL


An electrolysis cell is a process of decomposition of an electrolyte by the passage of electricity through its molten state or aqueous solution.


When an electrolyte is dissolved in water or taken in the molten state it dissociates into positive and negative ions.
LX(l) --> L+(l) + X-(l)
LX(aq) --> L+(aq) + X-(aq)
The positive ions are known as cations and the negative ions are known as anions.

On passing electric current through the electrolyte, cations move towards the cathode and anions move towards the anode.
On reaching their respective electrodes these ions loose their charge. On loosing their charge they get deposited on the electrode or discharged as a gas.
Let us take an example of electrolysis of aqueous copper sulphate solution, CuSO4(aq) using inert electrodes such as platinum electrodes.
In the aqueous solution copper sulphate dissociates into its respective ions.
CuSO4(aq) --> Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)


On passing electric current the copper ions(cations) move towards the cathode and get deposited as copper.
Cu2+(aq) + 2e --> Cu(s)
Simultaneously the sulphate ions(anions) move towards the anode. Because Eo H2O > Eo SO42-, so 2H2O(l) --> O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e
The total ionic equation is :
2Cu2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) --> 2Cu(s) + O2(g) + 4H+(aq)
The molecular equation is :
2CuSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) --> 2Cu(s) + O2(g) + 2H2SO4(aq)

A VOLTAIC CELL

When you go to the chemistry laboratory and you want to work with electrochemical cells, firstly do the voltaic cell of Zn - Cu.

A voltaic cell is a spontaneous reaction, so that you have to seperate the solution into two half-cells, the first part is oxidation and the other is reduction.


Prepare all the apparatus needed and arrange them as the above picture. For a Zn-Cu cell, please dip a zinc rod in ZnSO4(aq) and a Cu rod in CuSO4(aq). Do not dip Zn rod in CuSO4(aq), because they will react. Connect the Zn rod to the copper rod by using a wire. You can use a galvanometer and a plug key.

The two aqueous solutions in the beackers, ZnSO4 and CuSO4 are interlinked one of another through a salt bridge which is an inverted 'u' tube which is filled with saturated semi solid paste of Agar-agar saturated in NaCl, KCl or KNO3 solution (Agar-agar is a carbohydrate which forms a jelly like substance when dissolved in hot water). You can use filter paper, wet with NaCl(aq). It is more simple than the first.

When the circuit is completed, a deflection is observed in the (G) towards the zinc electrode indicating that the electrons are flowing from the Zn electrode to Cu electrode. The Zn electrode will oxidize.

The electrons lost by the Zn metal and move through electrode and reach the Cu electrode at which they are accepted by Cu2+ ions of the solution to form neutral copper atoms.

In an electrochemical cell, each electrode constitutes one half of the cell and the reaction taking place at the electrode is called half-cell reaction. The overall cell reaction is obtained by adding the two half-cell reactions.

When Zn is added to CuSO4(aq), Zn directly displaces Cu2+(aq) from CuSO4(aq). However, in the electrochemical cell there is no direct contact between Zn and CuSO4(aq). Here, the elecrons can flow from Zn rod to Cu. So the chemical energy changes to the electrical energy. Hence the electrochemical cell acts as a source of electrical current although for a short interval.

The electrode at which oxidation takes place, the metal rod becomes negative charged is called negative electrode. The electrode at which reduction takes place, the metal rod becomes positive charged is called positive electrode.

Accordingly, in the above electrochemical cell, Zn electrode acts as negative electrode while Cu electrode acts as positive.

The function of salt bridge:
a) acts as a link between the two aqueous solution
b) overcomes liquid junction potential.
c) maintains the electrical neutrality of the aqueous solution of the electrodes by releasing or sending oppositely charged ions into the solution.

The cell notation of Zn - Cu is written as : Zn(s)/Zn2+(aq)//C reu2+(aq)/Cu(s) or Zn(s)/ZnSO4(aq)//CuSO4(aq)/Cu(s).

The chemical equation is :
(Anode) Oxidation : Zn(s) --> Zn2+ + 2e Eo = 0,76 volt
(Cathode) Reduction : Cu2+ + 2e --> Cu(s) Eo = 0,34 volt
Redox Reaction : Zn(s)+Cu2+(aq) --> Zn2+(aq)+Cu(s) Eo cell = 1,10 volt

Sometimes you can directly caculate the Eo cell without write down the chemical equation.
Eo cell = Eo Cu2+/Cu - Eo Zn/Zn2+ (Eo of Red at Cathode - Eo of Ox at Anode)
Eo cell = 0,34 volt - . -0,76 volt = 1,10 volt.

REDOX REACTION

Students,
Please remember about Redox reaction that you have learnt before. What do you think about this type of reaction? Redox comes from the words reduction and oxidation. Do you remember the reason? Please give an example of this reaction from daily life that happened around you.

Oxidation comes from the word oxigen. So, if an element reacts with oxigen, the result is an oxide, metal oxide or non metal oxide. If the metal is iron and the non metal is sulfur, please try to write down the chemical equation.

Here, I give you other examples, that is magnesium as a metal and hydrogen as a non metal.
2 Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2 MgO(s)
2 H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2 H2O(l)

In these two reactions, Mg and H2 are oxidised by O2 and as a result, magnesium oxide and hydrogen oxide or water. So these reactions can be classified as oxidation, according to the Mg and H2. In this process, oxidation number (ON) of Mg and H change from zero to +2 and +1. Do you remember how to calculate ON?

These are a few rules to remember
1.The oxidation number of an element is zero.
2.The oxidation number of an ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
3.Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 (this doesn't apply to hydrides when hydrogen is -1).
4.Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 (except in peroxides when it is -1).
It is then simply a matter of adding together all of the oxidation numbers of the elements in a compound and making sure that the total is = 0

If you look at O2, you can find that ON of O2 in both reactions change from zero to -2. Please compare the change of ON of Mg and H2 with O2. The ON of Mg and H2increase, but the ON of O2 decreases. The first reaction we call oxidation, and the second is reduction. So that reduction and oxidation occur in the same time, one transfers electrons to another. That is why these two half-reactions can not be separated.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, reduction is the gain of electrons
Oxidation is a half equation 2 Mg --> 2 Mg2+ + 4e-.
Reduction is a half equation O2 + 4e- --> 2 O2-.

Oxidising and reducing agents
An oxidizing agent is an element which causes oxidation (and is reduced as a result) by removing electrons from another species.
A reducing agent is an element which causes reduction (and is oxidized as a result) by giving electrons to another species.
In the above example Mg is the reducing agent as it has brought about the reduction of O2 to O2-.

Students, I hope all the above explanation can help you to remember REDOX reaction and apply it to the next concept, that is balancing redox equation.
