Question 1

define the standard electrode potential of a half cell

Answer 1

• the potential difference between the half-cell and a standard hydrogen half-cell

Question 2

if a reaction that shouldn’t work, is working or visa versa, why might that be

Answer 2

• if a reaction is feasible under standard conditions, changing the conditions will alter the value of the electrode potentials and make the reaction feasible
