    Experiment 6 - Concentration and Liquid Junction Potential: O Ag + /ag

    Uploaded by

    Luw In
    This experiment aims to determine the standard electrode potential of silver, the activity of a 0.01 M silver nitrate solution, and the liquid junction potential using a concentration cell. The experiment involves setting up electrochemical cells using silver electrodes in 0.1 M and 0.01 M silver nitrate solutions, with a saturated potassium nitrate salt bridge, and measuring the electromotive forces.
