Question

is cell potential and electrode potential the same? if not, explain

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Explanation:

Electrode potential is the tendency of an electrode to get reduced or to get oxidized but Cell potential is the difference between electrode potentials (of both electrodes i.e anode and cathode) of the given cell.

The cell potential (Ecell) is measured in voltage (V), which allows us to give a certain value to the cell potential

Answer 2

Answer:

no

Explanation:

In a cell, there is an electrode potential for the cathode and an electrode potential for the anode. The difference between the two electrode potentials equals the cell potential: Ecell = Ecathode − Eanode.
