The difference in reversible potential between oxygen reduction reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction of any pH in an aqueous electrolyte is . . . . . . . . volt.
[Given, standard reduction potentials for hydrogen evolution reaction, H2E∘2H+=OV,SHE and oxygen reduction reaction : 4OHE∘O2=0.4V,SHE. Also PH2 = PO2 = 1 atm]
The oxygen activity in a liquid metal can be-measured by a concentration cell using stabilised zirconia electrolyte PO2(1) | ZrO2 based solid electrolyte | PO2(2)
Where, PO2(1) is the reference oxygen pressure and PO2(2) is the oxygen pressure in equilibrium with liquid metal. If, F is Faraday constant, the EMF of the cell is equal to
The difference in potential between two standard half cells is ΔE°. If the half cell are galvanically coupled, the value of ΔE°, with changes in concentration of ions in the solution, is such that
In electrolytic refining of nickel (Ni), the anode is Cu-10 atom% Ni and the cathode is pure Ni. Assuming the Cu-Ni solution to be ideal, the absolute value of the minimum voltage (in mv) required for refining is.
