Using Electrode Potentials to Predict Reactions

Description

Electrode potentials help predict whether a redox reaction will happen on its own. A redox reaction involves electron transfer. In electrochemistry, the measured value is called cell potential or cell voltage. It shows the energy linked to charge transfer and is measured in volts, where 1 volt equals 1 joule per coulomb.

Transcript

Considerate due contenitori con livelli di fluido diversi. Quando collegati, il liquido scorre dal livello superiore a quello inferiore. Misurando i singoli livelli di fluido, sarà possibile prevedere la direzione del flusso.

Comparativamente, in una cella galvanica, conoscere i potenziali dei singoli elettrodi aiuta a prevedere l'ossi...
