so what you are in fact implying @mark E is that if we were to measure the potential of a grossly submerged oxygen electrode and a slightly submerged oxygen electrode that they would both measure exactly equal voltages against a standard reference electrode,correct?

I have said that I expect the concentrations to move towards equilibrium, open circuit or not.  I have asked you for a reference that shows that they would not move towards equilibrium with an open circuit.

which implies by default that you,re saying that regardless of submergence of an oxygen electrode in a swamp of electrolyte that its potential will always be the same @mark E..correct?

I tell you what:  Once you come up with a reference such as I asked for, then I will review that reference and we can discuss the matter further.

i tell you what @mark E, lets go with your flow,lets block communion between the gas of the 2 half-cells to make it easier for you and take it from there shall we? That removes your doubts regarding communion yes?
