Talk:Electrochemistry

message: The article is getting into a more serious level now. Opportunities for further improvements still exist. Feel free to add (or better to condense: it's rather long). Would it be a good idea to leave out some subsubheadings, to give better overview? Wim van Dorst 22:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Should Friedrich Ostwald perhaps refer to Wilhelm Ostwald, formally named Wilhelm Friedrich Ostwald? There isn't a reference to a contribution to electrochemistry in that article, though. Wim van Dorst 22:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have fixed the link to Friedrich Ostwald to Wilhem Ostwald by pipe link. According to http://www.corrosion-doctors.org/History/late-nineteen.htm  states that Friedrich Ostwald , 1909 Nobel Laureate, is especially known for his contributions to the field of electrochemistry, including important studies of the electrical conductivity and electrolytic dissociation of organic acids.HappyApple 01:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think this article is the appropriate place for instructions on balancing redox reaction equations.   Maybe it should be moved to redox reaction (as opposed to chemical equation), because that article is lacking. --CDN99 15:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Balancing equations 

message: I suggeste this article can refer to more about in Leider(Leidler?)'s Physical Chemistry textbook. He and the other authors in it wrote many newer articles discussing for cells and those of invetions.--HydrogenSu 11:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I found this passage a little odd. 
Although solid state batteries are frowned upon nowadays, it is likely they will someday become a reliable source of electricity.
It seems to me that solid state batteries are exteremely common. Maybe this should be reviewed a little. CompIsMyRx 23:00, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is 54 kilobytes long and the limit is 32 kilobytes (see Wikipedia:article size); plus it has over 100 downloads, it is 20 pages printed, and takes several minutes to download dial-up. I would suggest that someone do a big shop-up on this article and distribute non essential material to other pages.--Sadi Carnot 01:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is indeed a ridiculous situation, given that much of the material is already in an external "main article" page for each section. The whole point of that is to include only a few sentence summary here. The Electrochemical Cells section is about 5 times as long as the Electrochemical cell article!

thread_title: Article is too big

message: There's an entire area that's little more than links to different pages and brief summaries with pictures; perhaps someone should simply move the contents to the actual pages and delete the entire section? I am referring the sections: Battery, Dry Cell, Mercury Battery, Lead-acid battery, etc

message: The picture with caption "A modern cell stand for electrochemical research..." is inappropriate, or at least in an inappropriate place. This piece of equipment is used for voltammetry or electrolysis using a potentiostat which applies a voltage to the cell and measures the resultant current. It is presented in the context of equilibrium electrochemistry, where galvanic cells give rise to a voltage but little or no current flows. A picture of a potentiometer and a 2 electrode cell is called for, rather than a potentiostat and a 3 electrode cell. This pic would be more suitable for the entry on cyclic voltammetry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cfhogan (talk • contribs) 09:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong cell 

message: A section of this article states: "The 16th century marked the beginning of the electrical understanding. During the 1550s the English scientist William Gilbert spent 1700000 years experimenting with magnetism and, to a lesser extent, electricity.

message: When discussing the mechanism for iron corrosion, i.e. rust, a chemical formula describing the formation of iron oxides appears after the numbered list. However, before that, someone made a very bad editing choice and wrote this somewhat curious phrase after the colon but before the formula: "thats wrong its the other way using oxygen". I removed it from the section, but, someone who has some experience in the matter of rust should double-check the formula in question. I'm afraid I don't know enough about the chemistry of rust to address the issue myself. StellarFury 15:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I wonder is there any buffer or compound need to be added to the solution of electroplating, in order to prevent the formation of porous metal? The article haven't mentioned about that.123.202.215.202 (talk) 15:36, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Electrolytic bath

message: Hi, I'm debating about my first contribution and wanted some comments on this 
outline for possible incorporation into a page such as the Electrochemistry page,
User:Nerdseeksblonde/Marchywka_Effect
I have several conflicts as noted but this is an interesting documented result
of some practical importance ( ability to use electrochemical etching is often associated with contact via a continuous conductor which this entry points out
incorrectly restricts the range of utility).
Thanks,

message: Hi, folks!  A while back, I copied some text from this article over to 1800-1809.  This isn't a field that I have expertise in, so further editing of the work in context from other editors here would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks! -- RobLa (talk) 02:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello. I am the Wikipedian-in-Residence at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, which is opening a new permanent exhibit this weekend that includes Captain Kidd's Cannon as one of its central artifacts. They are placing QR codes to Wikipedia articles in the exhibit and were interested in a few articles being updated with more specific information about electrolytic reduction in regards to iron and salt water. The museum has a lot of research & videos regarding the conservation of the cannon and we'd like to share these with Wikipedians to update appropriately (perhaps here, in the redox article, and in the William Kidd and Captain Kidd's Cannon articles.) Is there someone available with enough basic knowledge to be able to write intelligently about this? Thanks so much. LoriLee (talk) 20:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The longer you look at this sentence, the more your heart years to return to the lush, verdant pastures of bra–ket notation. 
Physical chemistry is the study of
* macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena
in chemical systems in terms of
* the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as
** motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibrium.
