This piece explores the foundational concepts in electrochemistry, focusing on Faraday's constant, electric current, Ohm's law, and the Nernst equation. It details how potential differences in electrochemical cells relate to charge and resistance, defining key terms like work and energy in the context of electrochemical reactions. The article also discusses how ion-selective electrodes are utilized in understanding blood tests like the CHEM-7 panel, emphasizing the significance of thermodynamics and equilibrium in chemical processes.

How much? – Faraday’s constant. F = (6.022 x 1023 mol-1)x (1.602192 x 10-19 C) = 96,484 C mol-1
Electricity Current = Charge/time - I = Q/t [Ampere]=[Coulomb]/[sec] Potential = Current x Resistance - E = I R (Ohms law) [Volt]=[Ampere] [Ohm]
So what is resistance? NB: Potential is relative!
Work = Potential x Charge - W = E q [Joule] = [Volt] [Coulomb]
NERNST EQUATION At 25 oC
NERNST EQUATION Walther Hermann Nernst 1864–1941

Ion selective electrode CHEM-7 is a group of blood tests that provides information about your body's metabolism. The test is commonly called a basic metabolic panel. BUN: 7 to 20 mg/dL CO2 (carbon dioxide): 20 to 29 mmol/L Creatinine: 0.8 to 1.4 mg/dL Glucose: 64 to 128 mg/dL Serum chloride: 101 to 111 mmol/L Serum potassium: 3.7 to 5.2 mEq/L Serum sodium: 136 to 144 mEq/L
Ion selective electrode Selectivity And interference
NERNST EQUATION Measure E to determine 1 unknown concentration (…..so fix the other concentrations)
