This is perfect! I can actually see how the current is flowing now! Plus I can actually check my work! Thanks!

Ok, so if we look at Gneill's diagram (I'll attach it), when the 12V passes through the 6V battery (going from B to E) I should reduce the voltage by 6V. For loop ACFD when the 12V passes through the 3V battery the voltage should be reduced to 9V. Would I then not do any calculations for loop BCEF?

The question itself said to find the potential difference at the negative terminal of the 3V battery. I took that to mean that I needed to find the voltage after the current went through the 5Ω resistor. The loops diagram you posted was helpful! So, is the reason loop ABED is clockwise...

So are you saying that if I wanted to start with the 12V battery, I would analyze the circuit as if the other two batteries were just wires?

Homework Statement Find the potential difference at point P in the diagram. Homework Equations V=IR ΣiVi=0 ΣIin=ΣIout The Attempt at a Solution I understand that you need to use Kirchoff's circuit laws to find the current and voltage at each resistor, but I can't comprehend how a...

It most likely will, though I want to use this cell more to isolate the nitrate ion for synthesis of other nitrates rather than producing KOH. If I wanted to produce KOH then I'd just use KCl and it would run exactly like the standard chlor-alkali process just with potassium. Since the KNO3 is...

Good point, I forgot that the copper would be pulled to the right as well since it's aqueous. What if I were to use only carbon electrodes instead of having one copper? I did some research to try to find out what kind of gases would evolve at the anode, and it seems like only oxygen would be...

I realized that I did actually make a mistake when describing my cell idea, but before that let me make sure that I'm understanding the chlor-alkali process... As far as the salt bridge method goes, my understanding is that there are carbon electrodes, one in each cell. Cell 1 contains a...

I recently became interested in the chlor-alkali process, specifically the one using a salt bridge, and wondered if I could adapt the setup to synthesize other salts. I have KNO3, but want to remove the nitrate ion and bind it to some other metal, such as copper, and be left with KOH. Of course...
