What is the standard electrode potential of a half-cell reaction?
  1. A measure of the tendency of a chemical species to be reduced
  2. A measure of the concentration of ions
  3. A measure of the temperature of the system
  4. A measure of the pressure of the system

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the standard electrode potential of a half-cell reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand that a half-cell reaction involves a chemical species that can either gain or lose electrons.
  • Step 2: Recognize that gaining electrons means the species is being reduced.
  • Step 3: Learn that the standard electrode potential is a measure of how likely a species is to gain electrons compared to a standard reference.
  • Step 4: Remember that a higher standard electrode potential means a greater tendency to be reduced (gain electrons).
  • Step 5: Know that standard conditions (1 M concentration, 1 atm pressure, and 25°C) are used to measure this potential.
