Microscale voltaic cell measurements using very small solution volumes are carried out on a porcelain spot plate. A suitable salt bridge is constructed by filling the hollow plastic tube of a double-tipped cotton swab with an electrolyte gel mixture. Good results are obtained for a variety of half-cell combinations when the technique is used by students in the general chemistry laboratory.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
