各種半電池の組み合わせのEMFを測定する

Electrochemistry Advanced (University) 60 分 ~$25.00

目的

複数のガルバニ電池の組み合わせの起電力(EMF)を測定し、標準還元電位の値と比較する。

背景

By constructing galvanic cells with different metal/metal-ion half-cell combinations and measuring their voltages, students can experimentally determine relative electrode potentials. Comparing measured values with standard reduction potentials validates electrochemical theory.

安全上の警告

  • Lead compounds are toxic — handle with extreme care
  • Wear nitrile gloves throughout
  • Wash hands immediately if lead solution contacts skin
  • Dispose of lead waste in designated containers

予想される結果

Zn/Cu: ~1.10 V, Zn/Pb: ~0.63 V, Zn/Sn: ~0.62 V, Cu/Pb: ~0.47 V, Sn/Cu: ~0.48 V. Measured values should be within 0.05-0.15 V of theoretical due to non-standard conditions.

後片付け

Collect all lead-containing waste in designated containers. Dispose of copper waste separately. Rinse metal strips and store. Wash hands thoroughly.
