We begin with the simplest example. We have two NaCl solutions and these solutions are separated by a membrane in which some compound of the constituent Na is formed but which does not contain the constituent Cl. Then, in the left-hand and right-hand compartments we have Cl2 electrodes or also Ag/AgCl — or calomel-electrodes —. Thus the system has the construction scheme as shown in Fig.42.
