Half-Reactions:
Direct vs. Indirect Electron-Transfer Reactions
Electrochemical Cells Cu 2+ (aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn 2+ (aq)
Standard Cell Potentials: Voltages
Eocell = E o cathode - E o anode
Why are some things good oxidants or reductants?
V are J/C
An electrolytic cell is used to generate 2.4 L of H 2 gas from water at a pressure of 1 atm and 290 K, running at a voltage of +2.6 V and 14 Amps. How long does it take?
