Chapter 9, Problem 9B.2BST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electrode potential of the reaction has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Electrode potential:

Electrode potential is defined as the potential of a cell consisting of the electrode in question acting as a cathode and the standard hydrogen electrode acting as an anode. Reduction always takes place at the cathode, and oxidation at the anode.
