Electrochemistry and other Physicochemical and Instrumental method Flashcards
Study of chemical processes that cause electrons to move.
Electrochemistry
Movement of electrons, generated by movements of electrons from one element to another reaction (Redox Reaction)
Electricity
Transfer of charge, measured in Amperes
Electric current
Surfaces at which oxidation and reduction half-reactions occur
Electrodes
Involves electron loss and electron gain
Half-reaction in Redox reaction
Potential of a cell consisting of electrode concerned acting as a cathode and the standard hydrogen electrode as an anode.
Electrode Potential
Study of voltage, current, time relationships during electrolysis carried out in a cell.
Voltammetry
Electrodes used in Voltammetry
Working/Indicator Electrode
Reference Electrode
Auxilliary Electrode
Potential is dependent on concentration of the ion to be determined
Working/Indicator Electrode
Maintains a constant potentials throughout the measurement
Reference Electrode
Used to measure the potential of the working electrode
Reference Electrode
Where electrolysis takes place
Working/Indicator Electrode
Carries the electrolysis current and works with the working electrode
Auxilliary Electrode
Method of analysis based on current measurement resulting from electrolysis of an electronegative species at a given electrode potential under controlled condition.
