The electrolysis vessel usually consists of a tall form beaker without a lip the outer electrode should fit easily into the beaker, but the volume of liquid between electrode and beaker should be kept as small as possible. To prevent loss by spray, the beaker should be covered by a watchglass this should be drilled to accommodate the electrode connections, and then split into two.

V, and Tpe= -0.44 V. If the zinc and the iron electrodes connected by an electrical conductor are dipped into standard electrolytes in this cell, then iron would serve as the cathode (Fe2+ + 2 e —> Fe) and zinc as the anode (Zn —> Zn2+ + 2 e ). The result would be a tendency for zinc to dissolve in the electrolyte, and this process is known as the galvanic corrosion of a less noble metal (zinc) in comparison with the more noble metal iron in this system. The reversible emf of the corrosion cell would be... 

Conductivity test Immerse a pair of electrodes connected to an external electric source in the emulsion. If the external phase is water, a current passes through the emulsion. If the oil is the continuous phase, the emulsion fails to carry the current. 

In practice, it is very often necessary to determine the potential of a test (indicator) electrode connected in a cell with a well defined second electrode. This reference electrode is usually a suitable electrode of the second kind, as described in Section 3.2.2. The potentials of these electrodes are tabulated, so that Eq. (3.1.66) can be used to determine the potential of the test electrode from the measured EMF. The standard hydrogen electrode is a hydrogen electrode saturated with gaseous hydrogen with a partial pressure equal to the standard pressure and immersed in a solution with unit hydrogen ion activity. Its potential is set equal to zero by convention. Because of the relative difficulty involved in preparing this electrode and various other complications (see Section 3.2.1), it is not used as a reference electrode in practice.

Electrical conductance probes These can be either flush probes or wire probes. Flush probes are imbedded in a nonconducting wall, with one electrode connected to a voltage source and the second through a precision resistor to ground (Telles and Dukler, 1970 Chu and Dukler, 1974). Wire probes use closely spaced, nearly parallel conducting wires of small diameter, which are positioned normal to the flow (Brown et al., 1978). 

This model was first used102 to investigate the dependence of the potential of zero charge on the metal. Only the bulk-metal electron density changes from metal to metal. For a metal electrode connected to a standard electrode to form an electrochemical cell, the potential of zero charge is given by Eq. (2) or, for a metal M,... 

The experimental setup included a three-electrode electrochemical cell with a liquid contact membrane electrode in which the internal Ag/AgCl electrode acted as a working electrode connected to a potentiostat/galvanostat. The instrument was capable of switching rapidly between potentiostatic and galvanostatic modes [51].

For electrophoresis, the paper or gel is saturated with the required buffer at the desired pH. The ends of the paper or gel are placed in a buffer reservoir that contains the buffer with which the paper or gel is saturated and that also have electrodes connecting one end to the positive DC terminal and the other... 

All electrochemical reactions are carried out in a suitable cell with electrodes connected to a programmable voltage or current source. For analytical work the dimension of the electrodes are in the range of micrometers to millimeters. Almost in all electrochemical studies, one also needs an inert supporting electrolyte to carry most of the charges. The electrodes, their properties, and the working principle of the poten-tiostat is described below. 

Another separation technique utilizes an electric field. An electric held is an electrically charged region of space, such as between a pair of electrodes connected to a power supply. The technique utilizes the varied rates and direction with which different organic ions (or large molecules with charged sites) migrate while under the influence of the electric held. This technique is called electrophoresis. Zone electrophoresis refers to the common case in which a medium such as cellulose or gel is used to contain the solution. A schematic diagram of the electrophoresis apparatus resembles an electrochemical apparatus in many... 

The electronic circuit of the safety sensor consists of a p-type silicon electrode, an LED, a resistor, two 3 V lithium batteries, and a platinum wire as a counter electrode, connected in series, as shown in the right part of Fig. 10.7. These components are assembled in a pen-like housing, optimized to measure even thin layers of liquid on a flat surface, as shown in the left part of Fig. 10.7. This configuration is advantageous if a puddle, observed for example under a wet bench or other equipment, is to be analyzed. 

A schematic representation of a CE system is presented in Figure 9.1. In this diagram, the CE components have obvious counterparts to those found in slab gel electrophoresis. Instead of buffer tanks there are two small buffer reservoirs, and the capillary takes the place of the gel (or more accurately, a gel lane). The capillary is immersed in the electrolyte-filled reservoirs, which also make contact with the electrodes connected to a high-voltage power supply. A new feature to the conventional gel electrophoresis format is the presence of an online detection system. 

The plant consists of a box A, divided into three compartments by the partitions B, which, however, do not touch the bottom of the box A. On the floor of this box there is a layer of mercury, which is of siafficient depth to make a fluid seal between the compartments. In the two end compartments there are carhon electrodes, connected to a positive electric supply, while in... 

An alternative, and usually superior, method involves using a Luggin capillary (see Figure 6.33). At heart, a Luggin capillary is a reference electrode connected to a tube filled with KCl solution at high concentration, so the resistance of the internal solution is tiny. In addition, the capillary is slender in order to minimize disruption of the flux at the electrode surface, and its tip is narrow to ensure that none of the internal KCl solution seeps into the analyte solution.
