Atmospheric oxygen is a strong oxidizing agent, but in the absence of a suitable catalyst this reaction is ordinarily too slow to be observable.
The pE is a useful index of electron availability, especially in natural waters and biological systems in which multiple redox systems are usually present.
Solubility products can often be measured by constructing a cell in which one of the electrodes involves the sparingly soluble salt, and the net cell equation corresponds to the solubility reaction.
Potentiometric titrations are widely used to measure concentrations of species that are readily oxidized or reduced.
Measurement of pH is accomplished with an electrode consisting of a thin membrane of glass in which Na+ ions are exchanged with H+.
Membrane (Donnan) potentials arise when passage of an ion across a semipermeable membrane is selectively facilitated or inhibited.
Nerve conduction occurs not by a flow of charge through the nerve, but by a wave of depolarization resulting from the concerted action of active channels that govern the passage of ions (mainly K+ and Na+) across the membrane enclosing the nerve
