In quantitative analysis of voltammetry, concentrations and standard state potential can be determined through the use of calibration curves and the Nernst equation.
1. Concentrations: Voltammetry is a technique used to measure the concentration of an analyte in a solution. This is typically done by plotting a calibration curve, which relates the current response (measured during the voltammetry experiment) to the concentration of the analyte. To construct the calibration curve, a series of standard solutions with known concentrations of the analyte are prepared. The current response is then measured for each standard solution using voltammetry. By plotting the current response against the concentration of the analyte, a linear relationship can often be observed. The concentration of the unknown sample can then be determined by measuring its current response and using the calibration curve to interpolate the corresponding concentration.
2. Standard state potential: The standard state potential (E°) is a measure of the thermodynamic tendency of a redox reaction to occur. In voltammetry, the standard state potential can be determined by measuring the potential difference (voltage) between the working electrode and a reference electrode during the experiment. The Nernst equation is then used to relate this potential difference to the concentration of the analyte and the standard state potential. The Nernst equation is given by:
E = E° - (RT/nF) * ln([oxidized]/[reduced])
where E is the measured potential difference, E° is the standard state potential, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, n is the number of electrons transferred in the redox reaction, F is Faraday's constant, and [oxidized] and [reduced] are the concentrations of the oxidized and reduced species, respectively. By rearranging the Nernst equation and solving for E°, the standard state potential can be determined. This is often done by measuring the potential difference at different known concentrations of the analyte and using the Nernst equation to calculate E°.
