Answer to Problem 3RQ
The force by which electrons can migrate from reducing agent to an oxidizing agent through an external wire is called electrochemical potential.
Explanation of Solution
An electrical potential is the capacity of moving of an electron from the anode to the cathode in a battery. It depends on the ability to donate electrons from the reducing agent and the ability to gain electrons from the oxidizing agent. If a battery has a reducing agent which releases electrons and an oxidizing agent which can accept electron/s, the movement of electrons takes place with high force through the connecting wire with electrical energy.
To produce an electric current, a battery uses the energy from an
