  2. Standard electrode potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode_potential

    Bipolar electrochemistry scheme. In electrochemistry, standard electrode potential, or , is a measure of the reducing power of any element or compound.The IUPAC "Gold Book" defines it as; "the value of the standard emf (electromotive force) of a cell in which molecular hydrogen under standard pressure is oxidized to solvated protons at the left-hand electrode".

  3. Standard electrode potential (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode...

    The data below tabulates standard electrode potentials (E°), in volts relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), at: Temperature 298.15 K (25.00 °C; 77.00 °F); Effective concentration (activity) 1 mol/L for each aqueous or amalgamated (mercury-alloyed) species; Unit activity for each solvent and pure solid or liquid species; and

  4. Electrode potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode_potential

    In electrochemistry, electrode potential is the voltage of a galvanic cell built from a standard reference electrode and another electrode to be characterized. [1] By convention, the reference electrode is the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). It is defined to have a potential of zero volts. It may also be defined as the potential difference ...

    If the electrode has a positive potential with respect to the SHE, then that means it is a strongly reducing electrode which forces the SHE to be the anode (an example is Cu in aqueous CuSO 4 with a standard electrode potential of 0.337 V). Conversely, if the measured potential is negative, the electrode is more oxidizing than the SHE (such as ...

  6. Latimer diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latimer_diagram

    Latimer diagrams can be used in the construction of Frost diagrams, as a concise summary of the standard electrode potentials relative to the element.Since Δ r G o = -nFE o, the electrode potential is a representation of the Gibbs energy change for the given reduction.

  7. Reference electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_electrode

    A reference electrode is an electrode that has a stable and well-known electrode potential. The overall chemical reaction taking place in a cell is made up of two independent half-reactions , which describe chemical changes at the two electrodes.

  8. Electroanalytical methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalytical_methods

    Potentiometry passively measures the potential of a solution between two electrodes, affecting the solution very little in the process. One electrode is called the reference electrode and has a constant potential, while the other one is an indicator electrode whose potential changes with the sample's composition. Therefore, the difference in ...

  9. Galvanic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_cell

    Then one looks up the standard electrode potential, E o, in volts, for each of the two half reactions. The standard potential of the cell is equal to the more positive E o value minus the more negative E o value. For example, in the figure above the solutions are CuSO 4 and ZnSO 4.
