Electrochemistry and Kinetics

1. [6 points]

a. Show with the aid of a form of the Nernst equation that when using a pH
sensitive glass electrode and reference electrode that the measured
potential is proportional to pH.

The Nernst equatio:


Xz = ion with charge z (ex: H3O+z = +1)
E = EI +.0592/z log[Xz ]

EI = sum of all other potential is measurement system, includes reference electrode and
potentials inside ion sensor electrode and these should be kept constant

With regards to pH,


E = EI + 0.0592 log [ H3O+]
measured
E=EI -0.0592pH
(y= b + m x)

Thus, E is directly proportional to the pH of the solution because the -log[H3O+] is just the
pH..

b. Sketch a diagram of a pH sensitive glass electrode, label all parts and


indicate the function of each part.

A constant electric current deposits 0.365 g of silver metal in 12960


seconds(time) from a solution of silver nitrate.

What is the half reaction for the deposition of silver. Molar mass of Ag is
107.9

AgNO3(aq) + e[-] = Ag(s) + NO3[-]


Ag[+] + NO3[-] + e[-] = Ag(s) + NO3[-]

Ag[+] + e[-] = Ag(s)

What is the current?


moles Ag = moles e-

current (ampere)= C(coulombs)/time(sec)


1 mole e- = 9.65 *104 coulombs

moles Ag produced = 0.365 g Ag(s) * (1 mol Ag / 107.9 g Ag) = 0.00338 moles Ag


So,

0.00338 moles e- * (9.65 * 104 C ( coulombs ) / mole e-) = 326 C

Current = 326 C / 12960 sec = 0.0252 amperes
