Anode Preparation

Chemical Formula: Ni-Ce_0.8Sm_0.2

Total volume for 100g mass of this alloy = 13.53 cm³

Ƥ = 100/14.2 = 7.391 g/cm³

Volume of the anode (disc shape):

Radius = 6.5 cm; Height = 0.1 cm or more

V = π r²h = π*6.5*0.1 = 13.273 cm³ = 13273 mm³

• If h = 1 mm → V = 13273 mm³ = 13.273 cm³

M₁ = Ƥ V = 7.391*13.273 = 98.100743 g

M_Ni = 286 g

M_Ce = 510 g

M_Sm = 147 g

M_Total = 286+510+147 = 943 g
