Chemical Sensors
 

• - Determine the type of chemical sensor present given a small list of possible sensors and by measuring output voltages of this sensor of various known solutions
• - Explain that output voltages of chemical sensors are generally not linear with concentration and not ion-specific
• - Predict whether a spontaneous redox reaction will take place given the chemicals present and using the electrochemical series
• - List at least three factors that can affect the Galvanic cell potential
• - Measure the relative reduction potential of a redox couple by using a voltmeter

- Estimate the concentration of a given ion in a solution with unknown
