Chapter ER, Problem 16PQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The standard electrode potentiol for a voltaic cell constructed in appropriate way from the given half cell reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Voltaic cell:

A voltaic cell, often known as a galvanic cell, provides electrical energy.  The source of this energy is a spontaneous chemical reaction, more particularly a spontaneous redox reaction.

Standard reduction potential:

The standard reduction potential is in a category known as the standard cell potentials or standard electrode potentials.  The standard cell potential is the potential difference between the cathode and anode.  The standard potentials are all measured at $\text{298 K}$ , 1$\text{atm}$  and with 1 $\text{M}$ solution.

The relation between the reduction and oxidation potential is,

  ${\text{E}}^{\text{o}}\text{reduction}\text{=}{\text{-E}}^{\text{o}}\text{oxidation}$
