Abstract:
The use of simulation and various forms of data analysis is becoming more frequent in all areas of electrochemistry. To support this, we have created ElectroKitty, a Python package that can simulate complex reaction pathways. Since experimental data often exhibits non-idealities with adsorbed species, we have programmed ElectroKitty to incorporate such corrections. To demonstrate the versatility of our package we selected four common reaction pathways and validated it against an established simulator. We also demonstrate the Frumkin isotherm and how ElectroKitty can reproduce it. In addition, to demonstrate the more advanced features of our package, we used ElectroKitty to simulate OH adsorption on a Pt(111) surface using a straightforward model.

Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
