Abstract
Although use of the Nernst equation to illustrate the dependence of cell potential on half-cell concentrations is routinely covered in first-year college chemistry and high school AP chemistry classes, the temperature dependence of cell voltages is rarely encountered outside of the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory. Even there, its coverage is somewhat limited because of the cost and sophistication of the instrumentation required. This article describes a relatively simple method for preparing voltaic cells, and through their temperature coefficient, _Eo/_T, it explores relationships between DeltaGo, DeltaHo and DeltaSo for the cell reactions involved.

Chemistry Teacher Connection

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.


C&EN CLICs

Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students. 


JCE Collections Available
