Standard oxidation potentials

The first two terms of the right-hand side of the equation are sometimes combined and expressed as E which is called the standard oxidation potential for the chelate system. If the chelation is strong and the ligand is in excess, the metal would be almost entirely in the chelated forms, and [M L] and [M g L] would essentially be equal to the total concentrations of the oxidized and reduced forms of the metal. If, as is usual, the oxidized form is the more strongly chelated K > ), the oxidation potential of a system is increased by the addition of the chelant. 

Five oxidation states of At have been definitely established (-1, 0, +1, V, VII) and one other (III) has been postulated. The standard oxidation potentials connecting these states in 0.1 M acid solution are E°fV) ... 

Table 12-11 gives the values of the standard oxidation potentials for a number of half-reactions. A more complete table is given in Appendix 3. We have not added the information 1 A/ for each ion since this is implied by the symbol E°. For the same reason, 25°C and 1 atmosphere pressure of gases are understood.

No matter which sulfate reduction reaction is used, E°cs (= kathode + -Eanode) < 0, where kathode is the standard reduction potential and fibnode is the standard oxidation potential. Therefore, no, S042 ions cannot oxidize H3As03 to H3As04. 

Note kathode is the standard reduction potential and Eanode is the standard oxidation potential. 

Note 7 cathode is the standard reduction potential and node is the standard oxidation potential, (iv) No, the standard reaction will not occur as written since i ceii < 0 the reverse reaction will occur. 

To summarize, the standard cell potential can also be calculated as the sum of a standard reduction potential and a standard oxidation potential. 

As shown above, you can obtain the standard oxidation potential from a table of standard reduction potentials by reversing the reduction halfreaction, and changing the sign of the relevant potential. The reduction and oxidation half-reactions for the previous example are as follows. 

Write the two half-reactions for the following redox reaction. Add the standard reduction potential and the standard oxidation potential to find the standard cell potential for the reaction. 

In this section, you learned that you can calculate cell potentials by using tables of half-cell potentials. The half-cell potential for a reduction half-reaction is called a reduction potential. The half-cell potential for an oxidation half-reaction is called an oxidation potential. Standard half-cell potentials are written as reduction potentials. The values of standard reduction potentials for half-reactions are relative to the reduction potential of the standard hydrogen electrode. You used standard reduction potentials to calculate standard cell potentials for galvanic cells. You learned two methods of calculating standard cell potentials. One method is to subtract the standard reduction potential of the anode from the standard reduction potential of the cathode. The other method is to add the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard oxidation potential of the anode. In the next section, you will learn about a different type of cell, called an electrolytic cell.

Notice, however, that if the reaction at the Zn/Zn2+ interface is reversed and written as an electronation (reduction) rather than a deelectronation, then this electronation does not proceed spontaneously and its free-energy change is positive. This positive value of AG° = -nFE0 implies that E° must be negative. The standard reduction potentials for the zinc and copper systems are, therefore, -0.76 and +0.34 V, in contrast to the standard oxidation potentials, which are +0.76 and -0.34 V, respectively. 

With respect to the kinetics of oxidation reactions, the same comments as made in Section 14.2 are, of course, valid. To illustrate, we consider the oxidation of substituted phenols and anilines by Mn02 and of substituted phenols by HC1O4. By analogy to the type of LFER used to evaluate NAC reduction (Eq. 14-38), we can relate oxidation reaction rates to the one-electron standard oxidation potentials of...
