Electrochem Lab: Measuring the Invisible

Catalog description

Introduction to modern electrochemical measurement in a hands-on, laboratory setting. Students will assemble simple electrochemical cells and build simple circuits to digitize the data they collect. Students will work with reference, working, and counter electrodes with macro, micro and ultramicro geometries, salt bridges, ion-selective membranes, electrometers, and potentiostats. Prerequisites: CHEM 171 or equivalent.
