Key Equations:

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

Ecell = E°cell - (RT/nF)ln(Q)

At 25°C: Ecell = E°cell - (0.0257/n)ln(Q)

Standard Reduction Potentials (V at 25°C):

O₂/H₂O
+1.23 V
Ag⁺/Ag
+0.80 V
Cu²⁺/Cu
+0.34 V
H⁺/H₂
0.00 V
Pb²⁺/Pb
-0.13 V
Zn²⁺/Zn
-0.76 V

Key Concepts:

  • Spontaneity: E°cell > 0 indicates spontaneous reaction
  • Cathode: Reduction occurs (gains electrons)
  • Anode: Oxidation occurs (loses electrons)
  • Nernst Equation: Accounts for non-standard conditions
  • ΔG° = -nFE°: Relationship to Gibbs free energy

Constants:

R = 8.314 J/(mol·K)

F = 96,485 C/mol (Faraday constant)

RT/F at 25°C = 0.0257 V
