Skill 11.5 Relating cell potentials to spontaneity and equilibrium constants

Skill 11.5 Relating cell potentials to spontaneity and equilibrium constants [Pg.142]

See Skill 11.3 for information on cell potentials. The standard potential of an oxidation half-reaction E is equal in magnitude but has the opposite sign to the potential of the reverse reduction reaction. Standard half-cell potentials are tabulated as reduction potentials. These are sometimes referred to as standard electrode potentials E°. Therefore, [Pg.142]

When the value of E° is positive, the reaction is spontaneous. If the E° value is negative, an outside energy source is necessary for the reaction to occur. In the above example, the E° is a positive 1.10 V. therefore this reaction is spontaneous. [Pg.142]
