Get started for freeis to be generated in for coulometric reduction of azobenzene.
At the counter electrode, water is oxidized, and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) is liberated at a pressure of \(0.20\) bar. Both electrodes are made of smooth Pt, and each has a total surface area of . The rate of reduction of the azobenzene is 25.9nmol/s , and the resistance of the solution between the generator electrodes is .

For a rotating disk electrode operating at sufficiently great potential, the redox reaction rate is governed by the rate at which analyte diffuses through the diffusion layer to the electrode (Figure 17-15b). The thickness of the diffusion layer is

Chlorine has been used for decades to disinfect drinking water. An undesirable side effect of this treatment is reaction with organic impurities to create organochlorine compounds, some of which could be toxic. Monitoring total organic halide (designated TOX) is required for many water providers. A standard procedure for TOX is to pass water through activated charcoal, which adsorbs organic compounds. Then the charcoal is combusted to liberate hydrogen halides:
HX is absorbed into aqueous solution and measured by coulometric titration with a silver anode:
When 1.00 L of drinking water was analyzed, a current of 4.23 mA was required for 387 s. A blank prepared by oxidizing charcoal required 6 s at 4.23 mA. Express the TOX of the drinking water as mol halogen/L. If all halogen is chlorine, express the TOX as .
Ions that react with can be determined electrogravimetrically by deposition on a silver working anode:
(a) What will be the final mass of a silver anode used to electrolyze 75.00 mL of 0.02380 M KSCN if the initial mass of the anode is 12.4638 g?
(b) At what electrolysis voltage (versus S.C.E.) will AgBr(s) be deposited from 0.10M Br? (Consider negligible current flow, so that there is no ohmic potential, concentration polarization, or overpotential.)
(c) Is it theoretically possible to separate 99.99% of0.10M Klfrom0.10MKBr by controlled-potential electrolysis?
