To determine the concentration of chloride ions in a given sample of seawater using coulometry, you will need to follow these steps:1. Collect a known volume of the seawater sample.2. Perform a coulometric titration using a suitable titrant, such as silver ions Ag+ , which will react with chloride ions Cl- to form a precipitate of silver chloride AgCl . The reaction can be represented as: Ag+ + Cl- AgCl s 3. Set up the coulometric titration apparatus, which includes a generator electrode anode where the titrant is generated, a counter electrode cathode , and a reference electrode. The generator electrode is typically made of silver, and the titrant Ag+ is generated by oxidizing the silver electrode.4. Record the initial coulombs Q1 before starting the titration.5. Start the titration and monitor the current I and time t during the titration. The current should be kept constant throughout the titration.6. Stop the titration when the endpoint is reached. This can be detected by a sudden change in potential or by using an appropriate indicator, such as a chloride ion-selective electrode.7. Record the final coulombs Q2 after the titration is complete.8. Calculate the total coulombs consumed during the titration Q using the formula: Q = Q2 - Q19. Use Faraday's law of electrolysis to determine the moles of chloride ions titrated: n Cl- = Q / F * z where n Cl- is the moles of chloride ions, Q is the total coulombs consumed, F is Faraday's constant approximately 96485 C/mol , and z is the charge of the chloride ion 1 for Cl- .10. Calculate the concentration of chloride ions in the seawater sample: [Cl-] = n Cl- / V_sample where [Cl-] is the concentration of chloride ions and V_sample is the volume of the seawater sample.By following these steps, you can determine the concentration of chloride ions in a given sample of seawater using coulometry.
