4. The departure of potential
1) Liquid-junction potential
HCl(0.1M) KCl(salt bridge, xM) KCl(0.1M)
When x>3.6 Eljp<1mV
2) Polarization
Efact≠ENernst and Csurf ≠Cbolk
3) Over-voltage
real potential start a reaction > equilibrium potential
4) Ohm drop
Ecell= Ecathode- Eanode + IR
R: resistance of solution, I: current
