Silver galvanics

From the number of moles of electrons that pass through a circuit, the number of moles (and therefore the number of grams) of substances reacting at the electrodes in the electrochemical cell can be calculated. Suppose a zinc-silver galvanic cell is constructed in which the anode half-reaction is... 

Hydrogen bromide does not aggressively attack common metals of construction while in the anhydrous state. However, in the presence of moisture, hydrogen bromide will attack most metals except platinum and silver. Galvanized pipe, brass, and bronze should be avoided. Steel, Monel, and aluminum-silicon-bronze have proven satisfactory in anhydrous hydrogen bromide service.

In the galvanic detector, the electrochemical detector consists of a noble metal like silver (Ag) or platinum (Pt), and a base metal such as lead (Pb) or tin (Sn), which acts as anode. The well-defined galvanic detector is immersed in the electrolyte solution. Various electrolyte solutions can be used, but commonly they may be a buffered lead acetate, sodium acetate and acetic acid mixture. The chemical reaction in the cathode with electrons generated in the anode may generate a measurable electrical voltage, which is a detectable signal for measurements of DO. The lead is the anode in the electrolyte solution, which is oxidised. Therefore the probe life is dependent on the surface area of the anode. The series of chemical reactions occurring in the cathode and anode is ... 

Aluminum Foil. Studies of various foods wrapped in aluminum foil show that food products to which aluminum offers only fair resistance cause little or no corrosion when the foil is in contact with a nonmetallic object (glass, plastic, ceramic, etc.) The reactions, when found, are essentially chemical, and the effect on the foil is insignificant. However, when the same foods are wrapped or covered with foil that is in contact with another metallic object (steel, tinplate, silver, etc.), an electrochemical or galvanic reaction occurs with aluminum acting as the sacrificial anode. In such cases, there is pitting corrosion of the foil, and the severity of the attack depends primarily on the food composition and the exposure time and temperature. Results obtained with various foods cov-...

Each electrode compartment of a galvanic cell contains a silver electrode and 10.0 ml, of 0.10 M AgN03(aq) they are connected by a salt bridge. You now add 10.0 ml. of 0.10 M NaCl(aq) to the left-hand electrode compartment. Almost all the silver precipitates as silver chloride but a little remains in solution as a saturated solution of AgCI. The measured emf is E = +0.42 V. What is the concentration of Ag+ in the saturated solution ...

A galvanic cell can be constructed from a silver-silver chloride electrode in contact with a solution containing chloride anions and an iron electrode in contact with a solution containing iron(IIt) cations.

The above galvanic cell is constructed with a cobalt electrode in a 1.0 M Co(N03)2 solution in the left compartment, and a silver electrode in a 1.0 M AgN03 solution in the right compartment. The salt bridge contains a KN03 solution. The cell voltage is positive. 

The two half-cells in a galvanic cell consist of one iron electrode in a 1 mol/L iron(II) sulfate solution, and a silver electrode in a 1 mol/L silver nitrate solution. 

Describe how you could build a galvanic cell and an electrolytic cell in which the two electrodes are made of lead and silver. Include a list of the materials you would require. 

The voltage we measure is characteristic of the metals we use. As an additional example, unit activity solutions of CuCE and AgCl with copper and silver electrodes, respectively, give a potential difference of about 0.45 V. We could continue with this type of measurement for aU the different anode-cathode combinations, but the number of galvanic cells needed would be very large. Fortunately, the half-reactions for most metals have been calculated relative to a standard reference electrode, which is arbitrarily selected as the reduction of hydrogen ... 

Into water-tanks, baths, spouts, pipes, et cetera, and is much used for covering or galvanizing iron, bo as to render it less liable to oxidize when exposed to the action of the air. It is valuable for the positive plates in galvanic apparatus, for the engraver in the department known as zinoography, and lattorly it has been advantageously applied in the separation of silver from its alloys with load.
