PREDICTING REDOX REACTION Flashcards
What is the electrochemic series
a list of electrodes potential written in order of the most negative going to the most positive
what is the electromotive forces
the e reduce-e oxidised
how to ensure reaction is feasible
the e of a cell must be positive
what reaction is the e cell when feasible
exothermic
what does this mean
when the temperature increased the equilibrium will shift backward to the left hand side to oppose the increase of change
what does this do
decrease the e of the cell
what does pressure do
effect redox potential which are gaseous
what happens if we increase the pressur eof a reactant
it would increase the e of a cell
why may reaction that are feasible not occur
as the rate of reaction may be too slow
or there may be very high activation energy
