Best Answer

A liquid junction potential is a potential difference between two solutions caused by the diffusion of an ion faster than the other. Salt bridges between these solutions containing high concentration of salts (eg. KCl, KNO3, NH4NO3) with ions that diffuse at the same rate minimising this effect.

Does potential increase or decrease when gas changes to liquid?

The potential energy of a substance decreases when it changes into a liquid. This is because it's losing the heat energy it had when in gas form to become liquid.

Is ethanol potential or kinetic?

Since ethanol by itself is a liquid that is doing nothing, it is POTENTIAL energy. You need to take some action to extract the energy.


Elastic potential energyis the energy of an object above the surface of earth?

No, that's gravitational potential energy, such as a book sitting on a table. Elastic potential energy is the required energy to stretch or compress a solid or liquid.


What is salt bridge?

A salt bridge is a device used in chemistry laboratories to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a voltaic cell (galvanic cell).


Example for when gravitational potential energy is useful?

You lift a beer can a foot off the table, thus imparting gravitational potential energy to each preciousgolden drop of liquid in the can. You then tilt the can, positioning its orifice directly above the waiting stein.The liquid gives up its gravitational potential energy while falling from the can into the glass below.Upon impact with the glass, the gravitational potential energy has become kinetic energy, which is usedto generate the bountiful and luxurious head.


Is fuel a gas?

A fuel is any substance used as a potential energy source. It could be a solid, liquid, or gas.
