Write the cell notation of the potentiometric set-up with SCE as the reference electrode. b) Write the Nernst equation that describes the indicator electrode set-up. Ecell recorded in running the solution using the potentiometric set-up was Ecell = 0.0286 V. (E0Ag/AgBr = 0.095 V) c) Compute for Eind. d) Compute pBr in the 50.00 mL aliquot. e) Compute for % NaBr ( in the potentiometric technique).
A 1.000-g sample containing bromide was dissolved in sufficient water to give 100.0 mL. A 50.00 mL aliquot was measured and after acidification, silver nitrate was introduced to precipitate AgBr, which was filtered, washed, and then dissolved in an ammoniacal solution of potassium tetracyanonickelate(II):
Ni(CN)42- + 2AgBr(s) → 2Ag(CN)2- + Ni2+ + 2Br-
50.00 mL remaining solution was analyzed for its Br- content by potentiometry using a metallic electrode of the second kind.
