Question
Chapter 20, Problem 12E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Explain whether the large negative and positive electrode potential indicate a strong reducing agent or a strong oxidizing agent.
Concept introduction:
Electrode potential – Potential obtained in the cell from the electrode which acts as a cathode where the hydrogen electrode acts as an anode.
To determine: The relationship between the size of the electrode potential and the oxidizing/reducing agents.
