NOTE:
Solid sodium chloride contains sodium ions and chloride ions which are in fixed
position and not freely moving.
In solid state, sodium ions and chloride ions are strongly attracted
by electrostatic forces in a lattice.
Electric circuit is complete due to the flow of electrons along the connecting
wires and movement of ions in the solution.

Activity 9:
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the potential differences
between three pairs of metals in a voltaic cell. An electrochemical series for four
metals P, Q, S and T is then constructed based on the potential difference
obtained. Three pair of metals used as electrodes in different voltaic cells are:
P and Q, Q and S and S and T.
All the metals are cleaned with sandpaper before used. 50 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3
sodium nitrate solution is poured into a beaker as electrolyte.
Experiment I
The electrodes P and Q are immersed into the solution. The two electrodes are
connected to a voltmeter using copper wires. Electrode Q is the
positive terminal. The voltmeter reading is recorded.
Experiment II
The electrodes Q and S are immersed into the solution. The two electrodes are
connected to a voltmeter using copper wire. Electrode Q is the
positive terminal. The voltmeter reading is recorded.
Experiment III
The electrodes S and T are immersed into the solution. The two electrodes are
connected to a voltmeter using copper wire. Electrode T is the
positive terminal. The voltmeter reading is recorded.
