Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the standard reduction potential of a half-reaction? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that a half-reaction is part of a redox reaction where either oxidation or reduction occurs.
  • Step 2: Know that reduction means gaining electrons.
  • Step 3: Realize that the standard reduction potential is a measure of how likely a species is to gain electrons.
  • Step 4: Remember that a higher standard reduction potential means a greater tendency to be reduced.
  • Step 5: Learn that standard reduction potentials are measured under standard conditions (1 M concentration, 1 atm pressure, and 25°C).
