### Standard Reduction Potentials

Understanding standard reduction potentials is crucial for grasping the flow of electrons in redox reactions. The following table provides a list of standard reduction potentials, E° (Volts), for various couples. This information is invaluable for predicting the direction of redox reactions and for calculating the electromotive force (EMF) of electrochemical cells.
