    This document describes an activity to verify the Nernst equation experimentally using a silver-silver chloride reference electrode and a platinum indicator electrode. The potential of the indicator electrode is monitored as the concentrations of iron(II) and iron(III) complex ions in solution are varied. Materials needed include the electrodes, solutions of potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III), and equipment to mix and measure solutions. Students are asked to propose a protocol to collect the data needed to generate a graph showing how electrode potential varies with concentration, as described by the Nernst equation. Skills practiced include setting up electrochemical cells, determining electrode potentials experimentally, and verifying theoretical relationships.

    ACTIVITY 1 :  Verification of the Nernst equation
    ACTIVITY 1 : DOCUMENT 1: Principle and tasks
    ACTIVITY 2 :
    ACTIVITY 3 : The Nernst equation expresses how the electrical potential of an electrode in contact with a
    solution of ions de- pends upon the activities of these ions. The equation may be experimentally verified using
    an electrochemical cell formed from an inert indictator electrode coupled with a convenient reference
    electrode. The potential of the in- dicator electrode, and hence the e.m.f. of the cell, are monitored as the ionic
    composition of the electrolyte solution is changed.
    ACTIVITY 4 : Here a silver - silver chloride electrode is used as reference electrode measuring the potential of a
    platinum elec- trode in contact with solutions containing different concentrations of iron(II) and iron(III)
    complex ions.
