Research Abstract |
The liquid junction potential (ljp) between different solvents contains three components, i. e., component a) related to electrolyte concentrations and ionic mobilities, b) related to ion-solvent interactions, and c) related to solvent-solvent interactions. The results of the present research are as follows : 1) A junction between solutions of the same electrolyte (c_1 MX(S_1)*c_2 MX(S_2)) : Equations were derived for components a) and b). The equation for a) was experimentally confirmed to be valid quantitatively. The equation for b) was valid quantitativaly for junctions between immiscible solvents but qualitatively for junctions between miscible solvents. A new method was proposed for the estimation of the ljp, in which the values of the three components were estimated separately and then they were summed up. The method was proved to give reasonable results. 2) A junction between different electrolyte solutions (c_1 MX(S_2)*c_2 NY(S_2)) : Theoretical and experimental studies showed that the ljp at the junction of this type may be treated in approximately similar manners as in 1). 3) Voltammetric study of ion transfer at the junction between different solvents : Various cells were constructed to study ion transfer at the junction. For junctions between miscible solvents, a cell in which two solutions were separated by semipermeable membrane was found to be applicable. The st udy is now in progress. 4) Application to analytical and solution chemistries : The above results were applied to solve the problems of the ljp in analytical and solution chemistries.
