Half-element

Halbelement, n. Elec.) half-cell, half-element, halben, v.t. halve. 

Current now tends to flow from the solution to the electrode Title-stad s expenments show that over the entire range of uranous-uranyl mixtures examined by him the electrode was positive with respect to the normal hydrogen half element, that is, reduction of uranyl was tending to take place The following numencal values are a few of those given by Titlestad, l c, and will illustrate the above processes —... 

The reference half-element is an electrode immersed in the solution of the potential-defining ion in the pure melt studied. For this purpose metals immersed in a solution of the corresponding salts of a definite concentration are often used a possible variant is the use of a similar oxygen electrode in the solution, with known and constant concentration of oxide ions (concentration cells). The quality of such electrodes is determined by their ability to maintain... 

Based on an analogy between the oscillations of a two-dimensional (2D) droplet and a mass spring system (similar to the Taylor analogy breakup (TAB) model), we assume that the deformation of our 2D liquid droplet is dependent on the viscous (Fv), surface tension (Fj), and inertial (Fa) forces. So, performing a force balance in the X2-direction for the half element (shaded) in Fig. 29.2c, we can write... 

Raoult rejected the assumption made by BecquereF that no electromotive force results from the contact of gold or platinum with a liquid, since he found by combining this half-element with a constant one of copper in copper sulphate there was a change of electromotive force of 0 4 Daniell unit. He then examined cells of two equal electrodes in the same liquid, separated by another...
