Transference numbers

Product No: P3060401

Principle

Cations and anions contribute to charge transport in electrolytic processes in accordance with their different mobilities in an electric field. Hittorf transport numbers characterise the fraction of the total charge transported by a particular ion during electrolysis. They enable the calculation of ionic conductivities, the values of which are important in electrochemical practice. Transport numbers are to be experimentally determined from the characteristic concentration changes which take place at the cathode and the anode during electrolysis.

Tasks

Determine the Hittorf transport numbers for hydronium and nitrate ions from measurements resulting from the electrolysis of an 0.1 molar nitric acid solution.
