a)
Interpretation:
Consider the following half reactions.
The strongest and weakest oxidizing agent has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Therese are chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
In all electrochemical cells, oxidation occurs at anode and reduction occurs at cathode.
An anode is indicated by negative sign and cathode is indicated by the positive sign.
Electrons flow in the external circuit from the anode to the cathode.
In the electrochemical cells two half cells are connected with salt bridge. It allows the cations and anions to move between the two half cells.
Under certain conditions a cell potential is measured it is called as standard potential
Standard potential
