How many electrons are involved in each step? Sketch the sampled current and square wave polarograms expected for this compound.

Cyclic voltammogramofrole="math" localid="1663646461802" Co(B9C2H11)2- . [Data from W. E. Geiger, Jr., W. L. Bowden, and N. El Murr, "An Electrochemical Study of the Protonation Site of the Cobaltocene Anion and of Cyclopentadienylcobalt(I) Dicarbollides," Inorg. Chem. 1979,18,2358.]

Short Answer

Expert verified

The chemical process was linked to waves in a cobalt ion cyclic voltammogram. Cobalt ion cyclic polarograms were sketched.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Cyclic voltammetry

Cyclic voltammetry can be used to determine the redox behaviour of substances as well as the kinetics of electrode reactions. The cathodic wave dominates the upper section of a cyclic voltammogram. Anodic wave dominates the lowest section of the cyclic voltammogram.

02

Chemical reaction relates to waves in cyclic voltammogram of cobalt

Reaction sequence occurred in cyclic voltammetry is given as

CoIIIB9C2H112-→CoIIB9C2H1122-→CoIB9C2H1123-

From EpaandEpcit is obvious that two reduction reactions took place, as depicted above.

The reactions are reversiblebecause the anodic and cathodic peaks are the same. The current sampled is presented as

From the two standard additions of 50 pm Fe(III) in the figure, find the concentration of Fe(III) in the seawater. Estimate where the baseline should be drawn for each trace and measure the peak height from the baseline. Consider the volume to be constant for all three solutions.

Propagation of uncertainty. In an extremely accurate measurement of the Faraday constant, a pure silver anode was oxidized to Ag1 with a constant current of 0.2036390(60.0000004)A for18000.075(60.010s to give a mass loss of4.097900(60.0000003) g from the anode. Given that the atomic mass of Ag is 107.8682 (60.0002), find the value of the Faraday constant and its uncertainty.

Peak current (IP)and scan rate (v) are listed for cyclic voltammetry of the reversible reaction Fe( II ) Fe(III ) of a water-soluble ferrocene derivative in 0.1MNaCLIf a graph of IPversusvgives a straight line, then the reaction is diffusion controlled. Prepare such a graph and use it to find the diffusion coefficient of the reactant from Equation17 - 21for this one-electron oxidation. The area of the working electrode is0.0201cm2, and the concentration of reactant is 1.00mM.

(a) How does the amperometric glucose monitor in Figure 7-12 work? b) Why is a mediator advantageous in the glucose monitor? c) How does the coulometric glucose monitor in Figure 17-14 work? (d) Why does the signal in the amperometric measurement depend on the temperature of the blood sample, whereas the signal in coulometry is independent of temperature? Do you expect the signal to increase or decrease with increasing temperature in amperometry?

(e) Glucose(C6H12O6$,FM180.16)is present in normal human blood at a concentration near 1g/L How many microcoulombs are required for complete oxidation of glucose in 0.300μL of blood in a home glucose monitor if the concentration is 1.00g/L ?

The chlor-alkali process 54in which seawater is electrolyzed to make CI2 andNaOH, is the second most important commercial electrolysis, behindAIproduction.

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.
