Standard potential of the mercury/mercurous benzoate electrode
Abstract
The standard potential of the mercury/mercurous benzoate electrode has been determined in aqueous solution and in 20% w/w methanol + water mixture. Values for ΔH° and ΔS° for the cell reaction H2+Hg2Bz2(s)→2H++2Hg(l)+2Bz– in aqueous solution are also given.
