Slide 6 of 54 Terminology Electromotive force, E cell. The cell voltage or cell potential. Cell diagram. Shows the components of the cell in a symbolic way. Anode (where oxidation occurs) on the left. Cathode (where reduction occurs) on the right. ◦Boundary between phases shown by |. ◦Boundary between half cells (usually a salt bridge) shown by ||.

Slide 9 of 54 20-2 Standard Electrode Potentials Cell voltages, the potential differences between electrodes, are among the most precise scientific measurements. The potential of an individual electrode is difficult to establish. Arbitrary zero is chosen. The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)

Slide 10 of 54 Standard Hydrogen Electrode 2 H + (a = 1) + 2 e - H 2 (g, 1 bar) E° = 0 V Pt|H 2 (g, 1 bar)|H + (a = 1)
11
Slide 11 of 54 Standard Electrode Potential, E° E° defined by international agreement. The tendency for a reduction process to occur at an electrode. All ionic species present at a=1 (approximately 1 M). All gases are at 1 bar (approximately 1 atm). Where no metallic substance is indicated, the potential is established on an inert metallic electrode (ex. Pt).
