Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Thus the potential of a galvanic cell can be used to measure the pH of a solution. Exercise Suppose you work for an environmental laboratory and you want to use an electrochemical method to measure the concentration of Pb2+ in groundwater. You construct a galvanic cell using a standard oxygen electrode in one compartment (Ecathode = 1.23 V). The other compartment contains a strip of lead in a sample of groundwater to which you have added sufficient acetic acid, a weak organic acid, to ensure electrical conductivity. The cell diagram is as follows". Q: The potential of what can be used to measure the ph of a solution? Choices: - electrodes cell - symbiotic cell - stimulation cell - galvanic cell A:
Answer:
galvanic cell
