Questions and Answers

Which method is used to measure the potential of an electrochemical cell under static conditions?

  • Electrolysis
  • Voltammetry
  • Amperometry
  • Potentiometry (correct)

What happens to the composition of an electrochemical cell during potentiometry?

In very dilute solutions, each ion behaves independently of all other ions present. This behavior is known as:

  • Solvation
  • Ideal behavior
  • Complete solvation
  • Infinite dilution (correct)

Study Notes

Electrochemical Cell Measurement

  • The potential of an electrochemical cell under static conditions is measured using potentiometry.

Composition of Electrochemical Cell

  • During potentiometry, the composition of the electrochemical cell remains unchanged.

Ion Behavior in Solutions

  • In very dilute solutions, each ion behaves independently of all other ions present, exhibiting ideal behavior.

Factors Affecting Reactivity and Potential

  • The reactivity and size of the potentials at the measuring electrode in solutions are affected by the ionic strength of the solution.

Non-Ideal Behavior in Concentrated Solutions

  • At higher concentrations, ions do not behave ideally and solutions behave as if their concentrations were less due to ionic interactions.
