7.7.4. Temperature-dependence of emf's For Weston Standard Cell: E/V = 1.018646 - 4.0510-5(T/℃-20) - 9.510-7 (T/℃-20)2 + 110-8(T/℃-20)3 Temperature coefficient: (E/T)p 10-5 V·K-1. By differentiating the equation - rGm = nFE with respect to temperature, we obtain
By measuring E and (E/T)p, thermodynamic quantities of the cell reaction can be determined. Because E and (E/T)p can be easily measured with high accuracy, historically, the thermodynamic data usually measured using electrochemical method other than thermal method.
7.7.5. Thermodynamic quantities of ions How to solve this deadlock? The customary convention is to take the standard free energy of formation of H+(aq) at any temperatures to be zero.
