Polarography, the Glossary

Index Polarography

Polarography is a type of voltammetry where the working electrode is a dropping mercury electrode (DME) or a static mercury drop electrode (SMDE), which are useful for their wide cathodic ranges and renewable surfaces.[1]

Analytical chemistry

Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods to separate, identify, and quantify matter.

See Polarography and Analytical chemistry

Czechoslovakia

Czechoslovakia (Czech and Československo, Česko-Slovensko) was a landlocked state in Central Europe, created in 1918, when it declared its independence from Austria-Hungary.

Dionýz Ilkovič

Dionýz Ilkovič (18 January 1907 – 3 August 1980) was a Czechoslovak physicist and physical chemist of Rusyn ethnicity.

Electric potential

Electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential) is defined as the amount of work/energy needed per unit of electric charge to move the charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field.

See Polarography and Electric potential

Electroanalytical methods

Electroanalytical methods are a class of techniques in analytical chemistry which study an analyte by measuring the potential (volts) and/or current (amperes) in an electrochemical cell containing the analyte.

See Polarography and Electroanalytical methods

Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry concerned with the relationship between electrical potential difference and identifiable chemical change.

See Polarography and Electrochemistry

Faraday constant

In physical chemistry, the Faraday constant (symbol, sometimes stylized as ℱ) is a physical constant defined as the quotient of the total electric charge (q) by the amount (n) of elementary charge carriers in any given sample of matter: it is expressed in units of coulombs per mole (C/mol).

See Polarography and Faraday constant

Jaroslav Heyrovský

Jaroslav Heyrovský (December 20, 1890 – March 27, 1967) was a Czech chemist and inventor.

See Polarography and Jaroslav Heyrovský

A liquid metal electrode is an electrode that uses a liquid metal, such as mercury, Galinstan, and NaK.

Mass diffusivity

Diffusivity, mass diffusivity or diffusion coefficient is usually written as the proportionality constant between the molar flux due to molecular diffusion and the negative value of the gradient in the concentration of the species.

See Polarography and Mass diffusivity

Mercury (element)

Mercury is a chemical element; it has symbol Hg and atomic number 80.

See Polarography and Mercury (element)

Voltammetry

Voltammetry is a category of electroanalytical methods used in analytical chemistry and various industrial processes. Polarography and Voltammetry are electroanalytical methods.

See Polarography and Voltammetry

Working electrode

In electrochemistry, the working electrode is the electrode in an electrochemical system on which the reaction of interest is occurring.
