prior to answering the following Post-Lab

The important parameters obtained from a cyclic voltammograms are the anodic peak current (Ipa), cathodic peak current (Ipc), anodic peak potential (Epa) and cathodic peak potential (Epc). All of these values can be readily obtained from the voltammogram. Measuring Ip's involve the extrapolation of the base-line current. The peak current for an electrochemically reversible system (rapid transport of electrons on the surface within the framework of the experiment) is described by the Randles-Ševcík equation: Ip = (2.69x105)n3/2AD1/2 v1/2c Where:

Ip = peak current (in A) n = electron stoichiometry D = diffusion coefficient (cm2/s) c = concentration (mol/cm3) A = electrode area (cm2) v = potential scan rate (V/s)

1. From Table 1, estimate the concentration of the unknown. - Ip,q = 3.2×10-5 A, concentration of the unknown is 4.9 mmol 2. Based on CV results in Table 2, determine diffusion coefficient,D of Fe2+ ions and compare it with the literature value (ie: DFe2+ = 7.0 x 10-6 cm2/s). (Hint: use Randles-Servcik Equation to find D, c = mol/cm 3, slope Ipa/v½ = 1.85 x 10-4, n=1, A = 0.078 cm2) 1

3. Define the following terms: Standard Electrode Potential (Eo) : The measure of the individual potential of reversible electrode at standard state which is 1 mol dm-3 at 1 atm. Cell Potential (E cell) : The measure of potential difference between two half cells in an electrochemical series Formal Electrode Potential (E’) : The reduction potential that applies to a half reaction under specified conditions Half-wave Potential (E ½) : The potential exactly in the middle of the two peaks where there is forward and reverse wave. 5. Based on the CV results in Table 2, determine the formal reduction potential (E’) of the ferro/ferricyanide couple. Correct for the potential of the reference electrode and compare it to the standard potential for the couple (Eo Ferro/Ferriccyanide = +0.436 V vs SHE). Comment on any observed difference. Answer:

6. From the CV results, identify the reversibility of Fe(CN) 64-/Fe(CN)63- redox reaction (either reversible, irreversible or quasi-reversible). Justify your answer. - The redox reaction is reversible because the redox system remains in equilibrium throughout the potential scan
