Liquid junction potential in Weston cadmium cell

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of liquid junction potential in the context of the Weston cadmium cell, exploring the implications of ion concentration and diffusion rates in electrochemical cells.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes liquid junction potential as occurring when two solutions of different concentrations are in contact, noting that the more concentrated solution tends to diffuse faster due to ion mobility.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on the specific role or concept of liquid junction potential within the Weston cadmium cell.
  • A further inquiry is made about the necessity of liquid junction potential in the context of the Weston cadmium cell.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion appears unresolved, with multiple participants seeking clarification and further exploration of the topic without reaching a consensus.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific definitions or assumptions regarding liquid junction potential or its application in the Weston cadmium cell, leaving some aspects unclear.

Liquid junction potential occurs when 2 solutions of different concentrations are in contact with each other.
The more concentrated one would have tendency to diffuse faster comparitively than less concentrated.
The rate of diffision depends on the mobility of ions.

Weston cadmium cell is hgcl2 Cd cell. In this case how?
