Electrochemical cell potentials

Potentiometry deals with the electromotive force (EMF) generated in a galvanic cell where a spontaneous chemical reaction is taking place. In practice, potentiometry employs the EMF response of a galvanostatic cell that is based on the measurement of an electrochemical cell potential under zero-current conditions to determine the concentration of analytes in measuring samples. Because an electrode potential generated on the metal electrode surface,... 

Here we are interested in the potential difference across an interphase. Let us consider the interphase shown in Figure 5.1, where the potential of the solution is s and that of the metal is The potential difference across the interphase is A(f)(M,S) = < M (ks- This potential difference cannot be measured directly since instruments that measure potential difference require two terminals and we have only one terminal the metal M. Thus, to measure the potential difference of an interphase, one should connect it to another interphase and thus form an electrochemical cell. Potential difference across such an electrochemical cell can be measured. We discuss two types of electrode potentials metal/metal-ion and redox potentials.

This equation allows one to compute the chemical equilibrium constant from measured standard-state electrochemical cell potentials (usually referred to as standard cell potentials). Some standard half-cell potentials are given in Table 14.6-1. The standard potential of an electrochemical cell is obtained by combining the two relevant half-cell potentials. 

The best values of are obtained from measurements of electrochemical cell potentials, and these agree well with the best values from conductivity measurements. At 25 °C the most reliable value of is 1.008 x 10 Values of at several temperatures are given in Table 31.6. The variation with temperature should be noted. 

The final step in calculating electrochemical cell potential is to combine the copper and zinc half-cells as a voltaic cell. This means calculating the voltaic cells standard potential using the following formula.

It is impossible to build absolute identical silver/silver chloride electrodes. The standard potential difference depends in some unknown way on the method of preparation [11]. For the Ag/AgCl electrodes of the thermo-electrical type [17], the cell potential variations in preparation cause variations in potential in the order of 0.2 mV. The standard potential is therefore determined simultaneously to the electrochemical potentials measured in the primary pH standard buffer solutions. Chloride ions are added to the chloride-free buffer at several chloride molalities in order to stabilize the potential of the silver-silver chloride electrode. The electrochemical cell potential consists merely of the difference in the two electrode potentials [18].
