Chapter 20, Problem 35A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conditions of a standard reduction potential is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The standard reduction potential is a potential in volts generated by a reduction half cell reaction which is compared to the standard hydrogen electrode under the standard conditions.

Answer to Problem 35A

The standard reduction potential is measured under the following conditions such as: $\text{25°C}$ temperature, $\text{1}\text{bar}$ partial pressure for each gas which is a part of the reaction, activity of the each ion and metals in their pure state.

Explanation of Solution

The standard reduction potential is a potential in volts generated by a reduction half cell reaction which is compared to the standard hydrogen electrode under the standard conditions. The standard reduction potential is measured under the following conditions such as: $\text{25°C}$ temperature, $\text{1}\text{bar}$ partial pressure for each gas which is a part of the reaction, activity of the each ion and metals in their pure state.

Conclusion

The standard reduction potential is measured under the following conditions such as: $\text{25°C}$ temperature, $\text{1}\text{bar}$ partial pressure for each gas which is a part of the reaction, activity of the each ion and metals in their pure state.
