Electrode Potentials Flashcards
1
Q
What are the standard conditions for electrode potentials?
A
Temp: 298K
Pressure: 100kPa
Concentration: 1 mol dm-3
2
Q
How do you calculate EMF?
A
EMF(rhs) - EMF(lhs)
Reduction - oxidation
3
Q
Why do we use a salt bridge?
A
Allows ions to move between two beakers/solutions
4
Q
What is a salt bridge
A
Filet paper soaked in ionic solution
5
Q
If it has a negative Electrode potential, what does it mean?
A
Oxidation
6
Q
If it has a positive electrode potential, what does it mean?
A
Reduction takes place
