What is standard electrode potential?Show answer
The standard electrode potential of a half-cell is its potential measured under standard conditions ( K, bar, mol dm ion concentration) relative to the standard hydrogen electrode, which is defined as V. A more positive means the species is more readily reduced (a stronger oxidising agent).
What is standard cell potential?Show answer
When two half-cells are connected, the cell potential is:
What is the effect of concentration?Show answer
Changing concentrations shifts an electrode potential (qualitatively, by Le Chatelier on the half-equation):
What is wrong electron ratio in electrolysis?Show answer
Read the half-equation: needs three electrons per aluminium, needs two.
What is q1?Show answer
Define standard electrode potential. [2 marks]
What is q2?Show answer
Given V and V, calculate and state which metal dissolves. [3 marks]
What is q3?Show answer
A current of A flows for minutes through aqueous copper(II) sulfate. Calculate the mass of copper deposited. (, Ar(Cu) = .)
