Question

Ions lose their hydrate shells when chemisorbing to these entities according to the Grahame model. The Levich equation can be used to model diffusion (15[1])flow (15[1])around rotating disk examples of these entities. Frit pore plugging is a regular issue that may arise when using one of these entities in non-aqueous conditions. These entities are associated with a diffuse double layer according to Gouy-Chapman (-5[1])theory. In one technique, “duck-shaped” curves are typically generated from measurements obtained from (15[1])(*) “counter,” “reference,” and “working” kinds of these devices. (10[1])One of these devices (10[1])coated with platinum black is used to define the standard reduction potential. (-5[1])These devices (10[1])are where half-reactions are facilitated. For 10 points, what electrochemical cell components can be further classified as cathodes and anodes? ■END■ (0[1])

ANSWER: electrodes [accept rotating disk electrodes or RDEs; accept electrode double layers; accept standard hydrogen electrodes or SHEs; accept cathodes until “cathodes” is read; accept anodes until “anodes” is read; prompt on half-cells with “what device make up a half-cell?”]
