  2. Standard hydrogen electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_hydrogen_electrode

    During the early development of electrochemistry, researchers used the normal hydrogen electrode as their standard for zero potential. This was convenient because it could actually be constructed by "[immersing] a platinum electrode into a solution of 1 N strong acid and [bubbling] hydrogen gas through the solution at about 1 atm pressure".

  3. 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.

  4. Redox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox

    Electron transfer reactions are central to myriad processes and properties in soils, and redox potential, quantified as Eh (platinum electrode potential relative to the standard hydrogen electrode) or pe (analogous to pH as -log electron activity), is a master variable, along with pH, that controls and is governed by chemical reactions and ...

  5. Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent

    The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

  6. Redox gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox_gradient

    A redox gradient is a series of reduction-oxidation reactions sorted according to redox potential. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The redox ladder displays the order in which redox reactions occur based on the free energy gained from redox pairs.

  7. Table of standard reduction potentials for half-reactions ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_standard...

    The values below are standard apparent reduction potentials (E°') for electro-biochemical half-reactions measured at 25 °C, 1 atmosphere and a pH of 7 in aqueous solution. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The actual physiological potential depends on the ratio of the reduced ( Red ) and oxidized ( Ox ) forms according to the Nernst equation and the thermal voltage .

  8. Pinnick oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnick_Oxidation

    The reaction is highly suited for substrates with many group functionalities. β-aryl-substituted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes works well with the reaction conditions. Triple bonds directly linked to aldehyde groups or in conjugation with other double bonds can also be subjected to the reaction.

  9. Boudouard reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudouard_reaction

    The Boudouard reaction, named after Octave Leopold Boudouard, is the redox reaction of a chemical equilibrium mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at a given temperature. It is the disproportionation of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and graphite or its reverse: [ 1 ]
