Half reactions can be written to describe both the metal undergoing oxidation (known as the anode) and the metal undergoing reduction (known as the cathode). Half reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions. For oxidation-reduction reactions in acidic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, one will ...
The same procedure as used in acidic medium can be applied, for example, to balance the complete combustion of propane: Unbalanced reaction: C 3 H 8 + O 2 → CO 2 + H 2 O Reduction: 4 H + + O 2 + 4 e − → 2 H 2 O Oxidation: 6 H 2 O + C 3 H 8 → 3 CO 2 + 20 e − + 20 H + By multiplying the stoichiometric coefficients so the numbers of ...
Although nitrous acid is located above nitrate in the redox scale and so is a stronger oxidant than nitrate, the Gibbs free energy of the half-reaction for nitrate reduction is more important (∆G° < 0 indicates an exothermic reaction releasing energy) because of the larger number (n) of electrons transferred in the half-reaction (10 versus 6).
When calculating the difference in voltage, one must first rewrite the half-cell reaction equations to obtain a balanced oxidation-reduction equation. Reverse the reduction reaction with the smallest potential (to create an oxidation reaction/overall positive cell potential) Half-reactions must be multiplied by integers to achieve electron balance.
For example, hydrogen is oxidized and protons are reduced readily at the platinum surface of a standard hydrogen electrode in aqueous solution, in a Hydrogen Evolution Reaction. Substituting an electrocatalytically inert glassy carbon electrode for the platinum electrode produces irreversible reduction and oxidation peaks with large overpotentials.
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.
