The UV-visible absorption spectrum of Ru(2,2 -bipyridine)3 maximum at about 450 nm, from which the energy in volts for process XI-39 may be estimated. The standard reduction potential for the R" /R couple is about 1.26 V at 25°C. Estimate from this information (and standard reduction potentials) the potential in volts for processes XI-40 and XI-41. Repeat the calculation for alkaline solutions.

Furthermore, since in Sec. 121 we found the value J = 0.36 electron-volt for the proton transfer (211), this gives the occupied proton level of the (HCOOII2)+ ion a position at (0.52 — 0.36) = 0.16 electron-volt above that of the (H30)+ ion in formic acid as solvent. This is shown in Fig. 65, where, for comparison, a diagram for proton levels in aqueous solution has been included, the level of the (H30)+ ion in aqueous solution being drawn opposite to the level of the same ion in formic acid solution. This choice is quite arbitrary, but was made in order to show more clearly that we may expect that one or more acids that are strong... 

Although benzene-sulfonic acid, CnITsSChH, is a strong acid in aqueous solution, it is not completely dissociated in formic acid solution. In a 0.1-molal solution the degree of dissociation was estimated at 60 per cent.2 This is comparable with the dissociation of HIOs in aqueous solution and is compatible with J = 0.14 electron-volt for the formation of (HCOOH2)+. Using this value the level has been included in Fig. 65. 

Another way to verify the usefulness of Table 12-11 is to compare its voltage predictions to one we have measured. For example, we found a value of approximately 0.5 volt for a cell based on reaction (46) ... 

If the colour intensities of the two forms differ considerably the intermediate colour is attained at potential somewhat removed from Efn, but the error is unlikely to exceed 0.06 volt. For a sharp colour change at the end point, Efn should differ by about at least 0.15 volt from the standard (formal) potentials of the other systems involved in the reaction. 

Two or more electro-active ions may be determined successively if their half-wave potentials differ by at least 0.4 volt for singly charged ions and 0.2 volt for doubly charged ions provided that the ions are present in approximately equal concentrations. If the concentrations differ considerably, the difference...

Whereas gravitational potentials are measured in heights, electrical potential differences are measured in volts. For electrons, a point at a more negative electrical potential is uphill from a point at a more positive electrical potential. The parallel between gravitational potential and electrical potential is summarized in Figure 19-10. 

With the appropriate choice of electrode material, lithium batteries can be tailored to almost any application requiring cell voltages in the range of 1-3 V and current densities from a few tiA to tens of mA per cm. In addition, the change of potential with state of charge can be controlled from almost 0 V in the case of VSe2 to more than a volt for TaS2. 

Thus for a p electron with Z = 1 the two possible values are j = and j = -The energetic splitting between these two j values is a relativistic effect and may rise up to a few electron volts for the valence electrons of the heaviest elements (cf. Pb, Table 5). 

Assuming then the first identification, we have the relations given in tables 1 and 2 leading to Im = 15.34 volts, with D = 4.34 volts assumed for the neutral molecule and I M = 16.08 volts (4.34 + 2 X 13.54 — 15.34), and jD = 2.54 volts for the ionized molecule, all in terms of the old mechanics. In terms of the new wave mechanics/ = 16.22 volts, as compared to Burratt s theoretical value of 16.30 volts (or to a value of 16.46 volts recently calculated in a somewhat similar way by Niessen19) while Im = 15.46 volts. Hence, I m + Im = 31-68 volts, as compared to Condon s approximate theoretical value of 31.48 volts. Finally, if Burrau s theoretical value of l m = 16.30 = = 0.03 volt is assumed to be correct, then D = 4.42 volts, instead of 4.34 volts as assumed throughout this paper ... 

Once free energies of solvation are available, other solution properties can be determined, such as solute conformations, pKa values, electrode potentials, reaction energetics, etc.9 10 82 For example, Reynolds applied ab initio (HF and MP2) QM/MM approaches to computing the electrode potentials in water of a group of quinines 83 the average absolute deviations for the most stable conformations were 0.024 (HF) and 0.033 (MP2) volts, for a range of 0.322 volts. 

Baik and Friesner used an SCRF procedure in conjunction with B3LYP density functional calculations to obtain electrode potentials for groups of aromatic molecules, metallocenes and transition metal complexes in four different solvents 132 the average absolute deviation was about 0.15 volts for a range of values of 3.82 volts. Saracino et al. computed pKa for a series of carboxylic acids with an average absolute deviation of 0.41 for pKa between 1.23 and 5.03.133... 

With insulators or semiconductors, the valence band is completely filled and is separated from the next highest allowable energy band (conduction band) by a gap (or forbidden band). In order for valence electrons to be raised into the conduction band, they must be given a sizable amount of energy. With insulators this gap corresponds to several electron volts. For semiconductors the gap is sufficiently small so that a significant number of electrons can acquire the necessary additional energy by thermal means at room temperature.
