A calibration curve plotting E vs. pTi is used to measure the concentration of Ti2 in solution at 25 °C using a solid Ti electrode. What is the slope of the calibration curve?
This exercise is solved from the begining to the end. The reaction should take place toward the reduction of Ti2+ to Ti taking or toward the oxidation of Ti to Ti2+ giving 2 electrons.
Its potentials are solved by Nernst equation.
In the reduction: which potential E0= -1.63V
The Nernst potential is:
Then, its respective graph is:
On? the other hand, its oxidation is: and its standard potential is E0=1.63V
It Nernst potential equation is:
Its graph is the next one:
