Titrimetric methods were not well received by the analytical chemists of that era because they could not duplicate the accuracy and precision of a gravimetric analysis. Not surprisingly, few standard texts from the 1700s and 1800s include titrimetric methods of analysis. Precipitation gravimetry developed as an analytical method without a general theory of precipitation. An empirical relationship between a precipitate’s mass and the mass of analyte— what analytical chemists call a gravimetric factor—was determined experimentally by taking a known mass of analyte through the procedure. Today, we recognize this as an early example of an external standardization. Gravimetric factors were not calculated using the stoichiometry of a precipitation reaction because chemical formulas and atomic weights were not yet available! Unlike gravimetry, the development and acceptance of titrimetry required a deeper understanding of stoichiometry, of thermodynamics, and of chemical equilibria. By the 1900s, the accuracy and precision of titrimetric methods were comparable to that of gravimetric methods, establishing titrimetry as an accepted analytical technique. 411 412 Analytical Chemistry 2.0 9A Overview of Titrimetry We are deliberately avoiding the term In titrimetry we add a reagent, called the titrant, to a solution contain- analyte at this point in our introduction ing another reagent, called the titrand, and allow them to react.

  • Nernst Equation in Electrochemistry the Nernst Equation Gives the Reduction Potential of a Half‐Cell in Equilibrium

The electrochemical series is used to determine the electrochemical potential or the electrode potential of an electrochemical cell. These electrode potentials are measured relatively to the standard hydrogen electrode. A reduced member of a couple has a thermodynamic tendency to reduce the oxidized member of any couple that lies above it in the series. The standard hydrogen electrode is a redox electrode which forms the basis of the thermodynamic scale of these oxidation‐ reduction potentials. For a comparison with all other electrode reactions, standard electrode potential E0 of hydrogen is defined to be zero at all temperatures.

  • Chapter 3: Experimental
    Chapter 3: Experimental CHAPTER 3: EXPERIMENTAL 3.1 Basic concepts of the experimental techniques In this part of the chapter, a short overview of some phrases and theoretical aspects of the experimental techniques used in this work are given. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is the most common technique to obtain preliminary information about an electrochemical process. It is sensitive to the mechanism of deposition and therefore provides informations on structural transitions, as well as interactions between the surface and the adlayer. Chronoamperometry is very powerful method for the quantitative analysis of a nucleation process. The scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is based on the exponential dependence of the tunneling current, flowing from one electrode onto another one, depending on the distance between electrodes. Combination of the STM with an electrochemical cell allows in-situ study of metal electrochemical phase formation. XPS is also a very powerfull technique to investigate the chemical states of adsorbates. Theoretical background of these techniques will be given in the following pages. At an electrode surface, two fundamental electrochemical processes can be distinguished: 3.1.1 Capacitive process Capacitive processes are caused by the (dis-)charge of the electrode surface as a result of a potential variation, or by an adsorption process. Capacitive current, also called "non-faradaic" or "double-layer" current, does not involve any chemical reactions (charge transfer), it only causes accumulation (or removal) of electrical charges on the electrode and in the electrolyte solution near the electrode. There is always some capacitive current flowing when the potential of an electrode is changing. In contrast to faradaic current, capacitive current can also flow at constant 28 Chapter 3: Experimental potential if the capacitance of the electrode is changing for some reason, e.g., change of electrode area, adsorption or temperature.

  • Square Wave Voltammetry
    Application Note S-7 Subject: Square Wave Voltammetry INTRODUCTION reverse pulse of the square wave occurs half way through the staircase step. The primary advantage of the pulse voltammetric techniques, such as normal pulse or differential pulse voltammetry, is their ability to discriminate against charging (capacitance) current. As a result, the pulse techniques are more sensitive to oxidation or reduction currents (faradaic currents) than conventional dc PLUS voltammetry. Differential pulse voltammetry yields peaks for faradaic currents rather than the sigmoidal waveform obtained with dc or normal pulse techniques. This results in improved resolution for multiple analyte systems and more convenient quantitation. Square wave voltammetry has received growing attention as a voltammetric technique for routine quantitative analyses. Although square wave voltammetry was E reported as long ago as 1957 by Barker1, the utility of the EQUALS technique was limited by electronic technology. Recent advances in both analog and digital electronics have made it feasible to incorporate square wave voltammetry into the PAR Model 394 Polarographic Analyzer. Square wave voltammetry can be used to perform an experiment much faster than normal and differential pulse techniques, which typically run at scan rates of 1 to 10 mV/sec. Square wave voltammetry employs scan rates TIME up to 1 V/sec or faster, allowing much faster determinations. A typical experiment requiring three minutes by normal or differential pulse techniques can be performed in a matter of seconds by square wave voltammetry. FIGURE 1: Applied excitation in square wave voltammetry. THEORY The timing and applied potential parameters for square The waveform used for square wave voltammetry is wave voltammetry are depicted in Figure 2.

Donald1,‡ and Evan R. Williams2 1School of Chemistry, Bio21 Institute of Molecular Science and Biotechnology, and ARC Centre of Excellence for Free Radical Chemistry and Biotechnology, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia; 2Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA Abstract: In solution, half-cell potentials and ion solvation energies (or enthalpies) are meas- ured relative to other values, thus establishing ladders of thermochemical values that are ref- erenced to the potential of the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) and the proton hydration energy (or enthalpy), respectively, which are both arbitrarily assigned a value of 0. In this focused review article, we describe three routes for obtaining absolute solution-phase half- cell potentials using ion nanocalorimetry, in which the energy resulting from electron capture (EC) by large hydrated ions in the gas phase are obtained from the number of water mole- cules lost from the reduced precursor cluster, which was developed by the Williams group at the University of California, Berkeley. Recent ion nanocalorimetry methods for investigating ion and electron hydration and for obtaining the absolute hydration enthalpy of the electron are discussed. From these methods, an absolute electrochemical scale and ion solvation scale can be established from experimental measurements without any models. Keywords: absolute potentials; clusters; electrochemistry; electron capture dissociation; elec- tron transfer; gaseous state; hydrated ions; hydration; ion nanocalorimetry; solvation; thermo chemistry.

  • Reaction Engineering of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells
    Reaction Engineering of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to identify the essential physics that govern the dynamics in PEM fuel cells. Reaction engineering principles are employed to develop a one-dimensional differential PEM fuel cell suitable for elucidating the dynamic performance of PEM cells under well-defined conditions. Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells employ a polymer membrane with acid side groups to conduct protons from the anode to cathode. Water management in the fuel cell is critical for PEM fuel cell operation. Sufficient water must be absorbed into the membrane to ionize the acid groups; excess water can flood the cathode of the fuel cell diminishing fuel cell performance limiting the power output. A schematic of a polymer electrolyte membrane hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is shown in Figure 1. load e- Figure 1. Hydrogen-oxygen PEM fuel cell. Hydrogen molecules hydrogen in oxygen in dissociatively adsorb at the anode and are oxidized to protons. Electrons travel through an external load resistance.
