Question
Which of the following statements is not correct?
A)
|
The direction of a
|
B)
|
Half-cell potentials for half-reactions are determined by comparing them with a standardized electrode.
|
C)
|
Since voltage does not depend on concentrations, we use standard conditions to compare different reactions.
|
D)
|
We have to measure the cell potential to obtain the difference in potential energy because the potential of half-reactions cannot be measured directly.
