25. H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ OH - New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level Book 2 24 Remarks 1. The above predictions are based on standard reduction potential. 2. The predictions may not be applicable directly to other conditions. 3. Generally speaking, if the magnitude of the cell e.m.f. Calculated is greater than 0.4 V, it is quite safe to say that the prediction is valid. 20.5 Uses of Standard Electrode Potentials (SB p.204)
