(a) In a dropping mercury electrode (dme), a new measurement is made on each drop. The drop size can be controlled by the diameter of the capillary which feeds the dme. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of using a small drop vs. a large drop.
(b) Discuss the differences between the hydrodynamic boundary layer and the diffusion boundary layer near the surface of a rotating disk electrode.
(c) Discuss advantages and disadvantages of linear vs. cyclic voltammetry.

When measuring with a pH electrode, several things limit the accuracy of the measurement. In each of the following situations, describe what would cause the observed effect: A. Acid error occurs when the pH is too low. Example, you have a 0.5 M solution of HCl, but your probe provides a measured pH of 0.50 B. Sodium error occurs when the pH is too high. Example, you have a 0.5 M solution of NaOH, but measure a pH of 13.00...

A galvanic cell consists of a mercury (Hg) electrode immersed in 0.26 L of 0.105 M Hg2+ solution and a silver (Ag) electrode immersed in 0.74 L of 1.44 M Ag+ solution. The galvanic cell is allowed to discharge at 25 °C until equilibrium is reached. What is the concentration of Hg2+ at equilibrium? Data: E° (V) Hg2+ + 2 e− → Hg(l) 0.854 Ag+ + e− → Ag(s) 0.800 Round your answer to two significant figures.
