Answer 2

Answer:

Introduction

The standard reduction potential is in a category known as the standard cell potentials or standard electrode potentials. The standard cell potential is the potential difference between the cathode and anode. For more information view Cell Potentials. The standard potentials are all measured at 298 K, 1 atm, and with 1 M solutions.

Standard Reduction Potentials

As stated above, the standard reduction potential is the likelihood that a species will be reduced. It is written in the form of a reduction half reaction. An example can be seen below where "A" is a generic element and C is the charge.

Standard Reduction Potential

\[ A^{C+} + C \,e^- \rightarrow A\]

For example, copper's Standard Reduction Potential of \(E^o =+0.340 \;V)\) is for this reaction:

\[ Cu^{2+} + 2 \,e^- \rightarrow Cu\]
