Redox and standard electrode potential Flashcards
1
Q
Where are the electrons in half equations
A
On the left
2
Q
What do oxidants do with electrons
A
Take electrons by OXIDISING a species so they LOSE electrons
3
Q
What do reductants do with electrons
A
Give electrons by REDUCING a species so they GAIN electrons
4
Q
In a hydrogen half cell, what does the voltage mean
A
The lower the voltage, the more reactive the test solution
5
Q
In a half equation table, which value is listed as higher in the table
A
The strongest reductant with the lowest electrode potential
6
Q
What does a high electrode potential mean
A
A strong oxidant
