Question

What is electrode potential ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In electrochemistry, standard electrode potential (E°) is defined as the measures the individual potential of reversible electrode at standard state with ions at an effective concentration of 1mol dm−3 at the pressure of 1 atm. ... Therefore, standard electrode potential is commonly written as standard reduction potential.

Answer 2

$\large{ \boxed{ \underline{ \mathcal{ \red{Electrode\:\:Potential}}}}}$

Electrical potential (commonly known as voltage) is the strength of the push or pull on electrons by the reactants in a redox reaction (reaction that involves transfer of electrons).

It is of two types —

• Oxidation potential
• Reduction potential

$\small{ \underline{ \overline{ \mid{ \rm{ \red{Oxidation\:Potential}} \mid}}}}$

When electrode is negatively charged with respect to solution that is it acts as anode.The oxidation take place.

$\small{ \underline{ \overline{ \mid{ \rm{ \red{Reduction\:Potential}} \mid}}}}$

When electrode is positively charged with respect to solution that is it acts as cathode.The reduction take place.
