Abstract

Potentials for the thermal cell (25°C) as a function of the concentration of and temperature are reported. The thermal cell potentials are combined with isothermal potentials for the silver‐silver chloride electrode at elevated temperatures to calibrate external electrodes as pseudothermodynamic standards for the investigation of electrochemical processes in high temperature aqueous systems.
