Concept introduction:
Standard reduction potentials
It is the reduction potential of a chemical substance in standard conditions. The stronger the reducing character (negative reduction potential) they will be low in position compared to hydrogen in the electrochemical series. The stronger the oxidizing character (positive reduction potential) they will be above to hydrogen.
