摘要:

基于量子化学计算软件Gaussian 16,对“电动势的测定”这一经典物理化学实验进行了计算化学设计。用密度泛函方法计算了Cu2+和Zn2+的溶剂化自由能,通过热力学循环计算得到电池反应的标准摩尔吉布斯自由能变,进而求出Cu-Zn原电池的标准电动势。该实验旨在帮助学生加深对标准摩尔吉布斯自由能、电极电势和能斯特方程等物理化学基本概念的理解,发挥学生的主观能动性,培养学生设计实验能力、动手实践能力以及科学思维。

Abstract:

Based on the quantum chemical calculation software Gaussian 16, a computational chemistry design was carried out for the classical physical chemistry experiment "Determination of electromotive force". The solvation free energy of Cu2+ and Zn2+ was calculated by density functional theory, and then the standard molar Gibbs free energy change of the cell reaction was computed through the thermodynamic cycle. The standard electromotive force of the Cu-Zn glavanic battery was further derived. The experiment aims to deepen students' understanding of the basic physical chemistry concept, such as standard molar Gibbs free energy, electrode potential and Nernst equation, to give full play to students' subjective initiative, and to cultivate students' abilities of experiment designing, practice and scientific thinking.
