Tables Standard Electrode Potentials

In general, an electrode with a lower electrode potential in Table 5.1 will reduce the ions of an electrode with a higher electrode potential (Fig. 5.10) or, a high positive standard electrode potential indicates a strong tendency toward reduction, whereas a low negative standard electrode potential indicates a strong tendency toward the...

The complete zinc-copper cell has a total potential of 1.10 volts (the sum of 0.76v and 0.34v). Notice that the sign of the potential of the zinc anode is the reverse of the sign given in the chart of standard electrode potentials (see Table 12-4) because the reaction at the anode is oxidation.

In consulting tables of standard electrode potentials (see Table 7.23), it is neces-saiy to be aware of an (unfortunate) difference in conventions for the sign of the E° values. Consider, e.g., the E° values for zinc electrodes dipped in Zn2+ solutions of unit activity and for copper electrodes dipped in Cu2+ solutions of unit activity. Tables... [Pg.634]

By convention, the electrode potential of any half-reaction is expressed relative to that of a standard hydrogen electrode (half-reaction 2H+ -p 2e -H2) and is called the standard electrode potential, E . Table 34.1 shows the values of E" for selected half-reactions. With any pair of half-reactions from this series, electrons will flow from that having the lowest electrode potential to that of the highest. " is determined at pH = 0. It is often more appropriate to express standard electrode potentials at pH 7 for biological systems, and the symbol is used in all circumstances, it is important that the pH is clearly stated.

Using (7) the cell emf method and (2) the electrode-potential method, calculate the equilibrium constants for the following chemical reactions. (Use the values for standard electrode potentials in Table 12-1.)... [Pg.238]

Undo- slower conditions in the laboratory, the order of utilization of electron acceptors follows the order of electron potentials at pH 7, as listed in the second column of Table 4.3. The standard electrode potentials of Table 4.2 are at pH 0. Most electrode potentials change similarly with pH, however, so the order of standard electrode potentials and of utilization of electron acceptors are similar. Appendix 4.1 describes how the pH dependence of electrode potentials can be calculated. [Pg.114]

For the calculation of the standard emfs of the cells we have used E9 = E% — with standard electrode potentials from Table 7.2. [Pg.125]

Thermodynamic data (4) for selected manganese compounds is given ia Table 3 standard electrode potentials are given ia Table 4. A pH—potential diagram for aqueous manganese compounds at 25°C is shown ia Figure 1 (9). [Pg.501]

The thermodynamics of electrochemical reactions can be understood by considering the standard electrode potential, the potential of a reaction under standard conditions of temperature and pressure where all reactants and products are at unit activity. Table 1 Hsts a variety of standard electrode potentials. The standard potential is expressed relative to the standard hydrogen reference electrode potential in units of volts. A given reaction tends to proceed in the anodic direction, ie, toward the oxidation reaction, if the potential of the reaction is positive with respect to the standard potential. Conversely, a movement of the potential in the negative direction away from the standard potential encourages a cathodic or reduction reaction. [Pg.275]

Ion-selective electrodes are a relatively cheap approach to analysis of many ions in solution. The emf of the selective electrode is measured relative to a reference electrode. The electrode potential varies with the logarithm of the activity of the ion. The electrodes are calibrated using standards of the ion under investigation. Application is limited to those ions not subject to the same interference as ion chromatography (the preferred technique), e.g. fluoride, hydrogen chloride (see Table 10.3). [Pg.310]

In addition to simple dissolution, ionic dissociation and solvolysis, two further classes of reaction are of pre-eminent importance in aqueous solution chemistry, namely acid-base reactions (p. 48) and oxidation-reduction reactions. In water, the oxygen atom is in its lowest oxidation state (—2). Standard reduction potentials (p. 435) of oxygen in acid and alkaline solution are listed in Table 14.10- and shown diagramatically in the scheme opposite. It is important to remember that if or OH appear in the electrode half-reaction, then the electrode potential will change markedly with the pH. Thus for the first reaction in Table 14.10 O2 -I-4H+ -I- 4e 2H2O, although E° = 1.229 V,... [Pg.628]

The values in Table 2.16 show how the potentials obtained under service conditions differ from the standard electrode potentials which are frequently calculated from thermodynamic data. Thus aluminium, which is normally coated with an oxide film, has a more noble value than the equilibrium potential 3 + / = — 1-66V vs. S.H.E. and similar considerations apply to passive stainless steel (see Chapter 21).

As may be seen from the diagram, silver in highly alkaline solution corrodes only within a narrow region of potential, provided complexants are absent. It is widely employed to handle aqueous solutions of sodium or potassium hydroxides at all concentrations it is also unaffected by fused alkalis, but is rapidly attacked by fused peroxides, which are powerful oxidising agents and result in the formation of the AgO ion Table 6.6 gives the standard electrode potentials of silver systems.

It is apparent that since the electrode potential of a metal/solution interface can only be evaluated from the e.m.f. of a cell, the reference electrode used for that purpose must be specified precisely, e.g. the criterion for the cathodic protection of steel is —0-85 V (vs. Cu/CuSOg, sat.), but this can be expressed as a potential with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode (S.H.E.), i.e. -0-55 V (vs. S.H.E.) or with respect to any other reference electrode. Potentials of reference electrodes are given in Table 21.7. [Pg.1247]

When the activity of the ion M"+ is equal to unity (approximately true for a 1M solution), the electrode potential E is equal to the standard potential Ee. Some important standard electrode potentials referred to the standard hydrogen electrode at 25 °C (in aqueous solution) are collected in Table 2.5.5... [Pg.62]

Several significant electrode potentials of interest in aqueous batteries are listed in Table 2 these include the oxidation of carbon, and oxygen evolution/reduction reactions in acid and alkaline electrolytes. For example, for the oxidation of carbon in alkaline electrolyte, E° at 25 °C is -0.780 V vs. SHE or -0.682 V (vs. Hg/HgO reference electrode) in 0.1 molL IC0 2 at pH [14]. Based on the standard potentials for carbon in aqueous electrolytes, it is thermodynamically stable in water and other aqueous solutions at a pH less than about 13, provided no oxidizing agents are present.
