What are the advantages of using a microelectrode for

voltametric measurements?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The benefits of microelectrodes in voltammetry techniques has been explained.

Step by step solution

01

Define voltammetry

In the electrochemical reactions the relation between current and voltage is noted and this technique is called voltammetry. A graph which represents current Vs voltage is called voltammogram.

02

Determine the benefits of microelectrodes in voltammetry techniques

  • Microelectrodes can be placed in small places and due to less ohmic loss which is handy in nonaqueous solutions.
  • Because of its small capacitance, it allows fast scanning of voltages which allows to the analysis of unstable species.
  • It also increases the analyte sensitivity due to low capacitance which provides low current.

In a coulometric Karl Fischer water analysis, 25.00 mL of pure "dry" methanol required 4.23 C to generate enough I2 to react with residual H2O in the methanol. A suspension of 0.8476 g of finely ground polymeric material in 25.00 mL of the same "dry" methanol required 63.16 C. Find the wt %H2O in the polymer.

The Nafion membrane (page 421) used to separate the anode and cathode compartments resists chemical attack. Its anionic side chains permit conduction ofNa+ , but not anions. The cathode compartment contains pure water, and the anode compartment contains seawater from which Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been removed. Explain how the membrane allows NaOH to be formed free ofNaCI.
