Alleviating the Common Confusion Caused by Polarity in Electrochemistry.
Moran, P. J.; Gileadi, E.
Journal of Chemical Education, v66 n11 p912-16 Nov 1989
Discussed is some of the confusion encountered in electrochemistry due to misunderstandings of sign conventions and simple mathematical errors. Clarified are issues involving emf series, IUPAC sign conventions, calculation of cell potentials, reference electrodes, the polarity of electrodes in electrochemical devices, and overpotential. (CW)
