Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 108SCQ
- (a) Is it easier to reduce water in acid or base? To evaluate this, consider the half-reaction
2H2O(ℓ) + 2 e− → 2 OH−(aq) + H2(g)
E° = −0.83 V
- (b) What is the reduction potential for water for solutions at pH = 7 (neutral) and pH = 1 (acid)? Comment on the value of E° at pH = 1.
