6) Voltammetry - In linear scan voltammetry, the diffusion current is proportional to the concentration of the species being reduced. In one experiment 250.00 mL of a 6.00 x 104 M Cd2+ (aq) solution was analyzed using a mercury electrode. The voltammetry scan from -0.6 to -1.2 V took 3.40 minutes to complete. The diffusion current for the reduction of Cd2+ at the mercury electrode was 14.0 μA (14.0 x 106 A). Cd²+ (aq) + 2 e --- -> Cd (s) a) How many mmol Cd2+ were initially present?

Consider the following statements as they apply to electrodes used in potentiometry. Decide if each is true or false. v Potentiometry is a technique in which only a very low current flows through the working electrode. A selectivity ratio of zero means that there is no interference from a particular ion. True True False v A saturated calomel electrode (SCE) is a common reference electrode that contains mercurous chloride, liquid mercury, and a saturated solution of KCI. False v A Ag/AgCl reference electrode can be used at temperatures higher than 60 °C whereas calomel electrodes cannot. False v A "combination" ion selective electrode (ISE) is a special electrode that measures more than one metal at a time. See Chapter 23 in your textbook. Submit Answer Incorrect.

Calcium fluorapatite (Cap(PO),F2, FM 1008.6) laser crystals were doped with chromium to improve their efficiency. It was suspected that the chromium could be in the +4 oxidation state.² 1. To measure the total oxidizing power of chromium in the material, a crystal was dissolved in 2.9 M HCIO, at 100 °C, cooled to 20 °C, and titrated with standard Fe2+, using Pt and Ag|AgCl electrodes to find the end point. Chromium above the +3 state should oxidize an equivalent amount of Fe² + in this step. That is, Cr4 + would consume one Fe² + and Cº + in Cr₂0 would consume three Fe2+ Cr++ Fe² + →→→→ Cr³ + + Fe³ + Cr₂0²+3 Fe²+ +3 Fe²+C++. →→→→→ Cr³ + + 3 Fe³ + 2. In a second step, the total chromium content was measured by dissolving a crystal in 2.9 M HCIO, at 100 °C and cooling to 20 °C. Excess S,Oand Ag were then added to oxidize all chromium to Cr₂0. Unreacted $,0 was destroyed by boiling, and the remaining solution was titrated with standard Fe² +. In this step, each Cr in the original unknown…

lon selective electrode (ISE) is an electrochemical device for the selective determination of the concentration/activity of an ion based on the principle of potentiometry. Typical examples include pH electrodes and the fluoride ISE. To use an ISE, the potential of the ISE is first measured with a range of solutions containing different concentrations of the analyte. Then, a calibration curve is constructed by plotting the potential versus log₁0[ion]. For an ideal Ca²+ ion selective electrode, which of the following slopes is the one that you would expect? (T = 25 °C) Select one: a. -30 mV/dec O b. O c. 30 mV/dec 59 mV/dec O d. -59 mV/dec
