Electrical potential measurement

ORP Oxidation reduction potential - the degree of completion of a chemical reaction by detecting the ratio of ions in the reduced form to those in the oxidized form as a variation in electrical potential measured by an ORP electrode assembly. OSHA The Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) is a law designed to protect the health and safety of industrial workers and treatment plant operators. It regulates the design, construction, operation and maintenance of industrial plants and wastewater treatment plants. The Act does not apply directly... 

The electric potential measured between two points in an electric circuit is the same regardless of the path along which it is measured.

The study of the electric field strength effect on the shape of the density gradient formed in the TLF cell indicated an important difference compared with the first approximation theoretical model. A series of experimental data and the theoretically calculated curves are shown in Figure 6. The difference can be caused by the interactions between the colloidal particles of the binary density forming carrier liquid. Moreover, the electric field strength across the cell or channel thickness was estimated from the electric potential measured between the electrodes, but the electrochemical processes at both electrodes can contribute to this difference. 

Because electrical potential measures potential energy per electrical charge, standard reduction potentials are intensive properties. <3=t (Section 1.3) In other words, if we increase the amount of substances in a redox reaction, we increase both the energy and the charges involved, but the ratio of energy (joules) to electrical charge (coulombs) remains constant (V = 1/C). Thus, changing the stoichiometric coefficient in a half-reaction does not affect die value of die standard reduction potential. For example, for... 

We have been able to verify Eq. (7) in different ways (see Ling ). The cause of electrical potential measured across the inner membrane of liver mitochondria by Maloff, Scordillis, Reynolds, and Tedeschi may be cited. Here behaves almost like most excitable cells. Maloff et al. measured but found no effect whatsoever of valinomycin on K" conductance in the presence of varying [K ]e,. The present theory showed that valinomycin increases the K affinity on the surface anionic sites of the mitochondrial inner membrane, by a factor of 3. With this assumption the entire sets of their data can be qualitatively explained by Eq. (7). 

From electric potential measurements Loeb could derive the pu of the liquid. The results were in conformity with the Donnan equilibrium. From the experimental data the osmotic pressure difference could be calculated. Plotted against the pH of the outer liquid, the maximum value of A coincided with the pH corresponding to maximum swelling, as shown by the following selected figures. 

Sah [1970] introduced the use of networks of electrical elements of infinitesimal size to describe charge carrier motion and generation/recombination in semiconductors. Barker [1975] noted that the Nemst-Planck-Poisson equation system for an unsupported binary electrolyte could be represented by a three-rail transmission line (Figure 2.2.8fl), in which a central conductor with a fixed capacitive reactance per unit length is connected by shunt capacitances to two resistive rails representing the individual ion conductivities. Electrical potentials measured between points on the central rail correspond to electrostatic potential differences between the corresponding points in the cell while potentials computed for the resistive rails correspond to differences in electrochemical potential. This idea was further developed by Brumleve and Buck [1978], and by Franceschetti [1994] who noted that nothing in principle prevents extension of the model to two or three dimensional systems.

In the simplest system, two electrodes are placed in an electrolyte, and electrical current may pass between the electrodes through the electrolyte. One of the two electrodes is termed a working electrode (WE), and the second is termed a counter electrode (CE). The working electrode is defined as the electrode that one is interested in smdying, with the counter electrode being necessary to complete the circuit for charge conduction. In electrophysiology experiments, it is common to use a third electrode termed the reference electrode (RE), which defines a reference for electrical potential measurements. 

For the majority of electrochemical applications, the analyte participates in a reduction-oxidation (or redox) reaction as consequence of an electric potential, measured between the electrodes.
