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 flow 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 theory. In one technique, “duck-shaped” curves are typically generated from measurements obtained from (*) “counter,” “reference,” and “working” kinds of these devices. One of these devices coated with platinum black (10[1])is used to define the standard reduction potential. These devices (10[1])are where half-reactions are facilitated. (10[1])For 10 points, what electrochemical cell (-5[1])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?”]
