Abstract
Summary Experimental data in the literature on the potentials of calcium amalgam electrodes in aqueous solutions have been critically evaluated, and the standard potential of the amalgam in aqueous solutions found to be — 1.996±0.002 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode. The standard state of calcium in the amalgam was infinite dilution, mole fraction scale, and, within experimental error, the activity coefficient of calcium in the amalgam was unity over the range from 0–0.25 mole %.
