    Abstract: A method (and corresponding apparatus) of analyzing the behavior of an electrochemical double layer (EDL) by replacing a classic capacitor in an astable multivibrator circuit with an electrochemical cell. By pushing the EDL into resonance, the induced charging and discharging of the double layer results in a square waveform output that has a characteristic frequency audible to the human ear. Variations in the electrolyte concentration and identity yield distinct frequencies. The method provides sensory insight into EDL rearrangement and behavior with an apparatus that is simple and robust. The apparatus allows the analysis of time-dependent EDL rearrangements occurring upon the application of a voltage. The apparatus provides insight, via an audible signal perceptible to the human ear, into the fundamental electrochemical principles governing chemical transformations.
