(F) Oral reports Flashcards
Determines concentration of solute in solution based on the potential of electrochemical cells
(without drawing current); static conditions preserve analyte composition
Potentionmetry
Device that generates electricity from the
chemical reactions occurring in it
Electrochemical Cell
Detects specific ions or molecules in a
solution
Indicator Electrode
Measure of how much voltage exists between
2 half-cells
Cell Potential
Reference point for the potential difference
between the indicator electrode and solution
Reference Electrode
Site where oxidation occurs (electrons are lost
to the solution
Anode
Site where reduction occurs (electrons are
gained from the solution)
Cathode
Maintains electrical neutrality between
half-cells
Salt Bridge
T or F : the stronger the oxidizing agent, the more electrons it can accept
T
T or F: The weaker the reducing agent, the more electrons it can give away
F (the stronger)
Site of gaining electrons
Cathode
site of losing lectrons
anode
T or F : electrons flow from negatively charged going to positively charged)
True anode to cathode
this component of potentiometry prevents charge buildup, neutralizing both slutions and allows for a voltage to exist
salt bridge
studies absorption, emission, and scattering of EM radiation by particles in solid, liquid, or gas
form
Spectroscopy
measures radiation (via wavelengths) absorbed and transmitted by a sample (in
comparison to a reference/blank sample) to quantify its chemical properties
UV-Vis Spectroscopy
Lies between visible light and X-rays along the EM spectrum and can be seen and distinguished by the naked eye
Visible Light
wavelengths of visible light
400-700 nanometers
frequencies of visible light
400 THz to 800 THz
light sources : - first source, loud noise,
intensity decreases overtime
Deuterium Lamp
light sources : - second source, very
stable, has low noise and drift
Tungsten-Halogen Lamp
light sources : high-intensity, produces
more noise, less stable
Xenon Lamp (alt.)
Sample used for UV examination
quartz
sample that absorbs uv light
plastic
