Question

Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is wrong.

            STATEMENT                      ANSWER
The oxidation number of chemical species decrease
at the cathode
 
The standard reduction potentials are measured at
room temperature
 
Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode
through the salt bridge.

 
The electrode potentials are measured relative to the
standard hydrogen electrode.
    
 
Eo cell are written as reduction half-reactions.  
The anode has the more positive the Eo half-cell.  
For the oxidation half-reaction, the value of the Eo
half-cell is reversed.
 
The more positive the Eo
cell, the stronger the
oxidizing agent
