농도 전지

농도 차이로 전압 발생시키기

Electrochemistry Advanced (University) 45 분 ~$18.00

목표

농도가 다른 구리 반전지를 사용한 농도 전지를 구성하고, 전지 전위에 대한 네른스트 방정식의 예측을 검증한다.

배경

A concentration cell generates voltage from the difference in concentration between two otherwise identical half-cells. According to the Nernst equation, the EMF depends on the logarithm of the concentration ratio. This experiment demonstrates that even without different metals, a potential difference arises from entropy-driven mixing.

안전 경고

재료

  • Copper(II) sulfate (CuSO₄) (200 mL total)
    Prepare 0.01M and 1M solutions
  • Copper strips (2) (2 pieces)
    Identical, sanded clean

실험 절차

1

Prepare two CuSO₄ solutions: 100 mL of 1.0M and 100 mL of 0.01M.

5 분 Wear gloves
2

Sand both copper strips until shiny and rinse with distilled water.

3 분
3

Pour the dilute (0.01M) CuSO₄ into one beaker and the concentrated (1.0M) into the other.

2 분
4

Place one copper strip in each beaker. Connect with the salt bridge.

3 분
5

Connect the voltmeter. The dilute side is the anode (negative terminal). Measure the EMF.

5 분
6

Calculate the predicted EMF using the Nernst equation: E = (RT/nF) ln(C_high/C_low) = (0.0257/2) ln(100) = 0.059 V at 25°C.

5 분
7

Compare measured and theoretical values. Discuss sources of deviation.

예상 결과

The cell should produce approximately 0.05-0.06 V. The Nernst equation predicts E = (0.02569 V / 2) x ln(1.0/0.01) = 0.059 V at 25°C. Measured values may be slightly lower due to junction potentials.

정리

Dispose of copper sulfate waste in designated containers. Rinse and store copper strips. Clean salt bridge.
