(a)
Interpretation:
The definition of the voltammograms is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Cyclic voltammetry is a form of potentiodynamic
(b)
Interpretation:
The definition of hydrodynamic voltammetry is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The hydrodynamic voltammetry technique is different from other voltammetry techniques which are unstirred experiments. The solution in the hydrodynamic voltammetry is kept stirring vigorously. The stirring can be provided by means of rotation of the electrode at a constant speed.
(c)
Interpretation:
The definition of Nernst diffusion layer is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The diffusion layer is a region adjacent to the electrode, where the concentrations are different from that in the solution.
At slower rates of scan, the diffusion layer is large whereas at faster rates of the scan, the diffusion layer is comparatively small.
(d)
Interpretation:
The definition of mercury film electrode is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Voltammetry involves plotting the current against the applied potential. This type of measurement is usually used to study the electrochemical properties of the analytes in the solutions or the molecules that have been adsorbed on the electrode. There are a variety of voltammetry methods available. These include linear sweep voltammetry, staircase voltammetry, alternating current voltammetry etc.
(e)
Interpretation:
The definition of half wave potential is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
For any given electrolyte, half wave potential is unique for each of the elements and for it’s different valence states and forms. Observation of the peak current at any specific half wave potential helps in identification of the chemical species that produces the current.
(f)
Interpretation:
The definition of voltammetric sensor is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Voltammetric sensor is a device that is used for the purpose of carrying out voltammetry measurements.
It acts as an electrode in this process and helps determine the electrochemical properties of the analyte in the solution.

- Amorphous polymers are usually transparent and semi-crystalline polymers are usually opaque. Correct?(a) No. They are all made up of polymer chains. True if they were monomers.(b) Yes. The arrangement of the chains determines the passage of light.(c) No. It is the other way around.(d) Crystallinity or amorphousness does not affect the transparency or opacity of the material.arrow_forwardThe name ferrites refers to a family of(a) ceramic materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.(b) polymeric materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.(c) concrete-based materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.(d) superconducting materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.arrow_forwardState the two main factors affecting ion packing in the solid state.(a) Number of covalent bonds and their unsaturation.(b) Mechanical properties and degradation temperature.(c) Number of crystalline phases present and grain size.(d) Electroneutrality and ion size.arrow_forward
