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 (15[1])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 may be associated with a diffuse double layer according to Gouy-Chapman theory. (15[1])In one technique, “duck-shaped” curves are typically generated from measurements obtained from (*) “counter,” “reference,” (-5[1])and “working” kinds of these devices. One of these devices coated with platinum black is used to define the standard reduction potential. These devices are where half-reactions are facilitated. For 10 points, what electrochemical cell components can be further classified as cathodes and anodes? (10[1])■END■

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?”]
