What are electrode potential and standard electrode potential ? Discuss the effect of concentration of a solution on standard electrode potential
Answers
Answer:
The electrode potential of an electrode changes with the change in concentration of ions in solution in contact with metal.In simple words Reduction potential of an electrode is directly proportional to concentration of positive ions. ... The standard electrode potential of Cu∣Cu+2 is - 0.34 Volt.
Answer:
Electrode Potential: The difference in potential of two electrodes or two half cells or two electrodes is termed electrode potential.
Standard Electrode Potential: When standard conditions of temperature pressure and concentration are applied to an electrolytic cell it is termed Standard electrode potential.
Explanation: Electrode potential of a cell is that potential in which the electrode is serving as a cathode and the standard electrode serves as the anode and the latter is oxidized whereas the previous one is reduced. Standard Electrode Potential is potential in which temperature is 298K, Pressure is 1 bar and Concentration is 1M.
