Please tell me concept and details.
Not hurry but I need the right answer.
If organic chemistry , I want the mechnism too. Thanks.
Explanation / Answer
The standard reduction potential is in a category known as the standard cell potentials or standard electrode potentials. The standard cell potential is the potential difference between the cathode and anode. For more information view Cell Potential. The standard potentials are all measured at 298 K, 1 atm, and with 1 M solutions.
Write balanced half-reactions and the overall spontaneous reaction, without using a table of half-cell potentials. Since the silver electrode is positive, that means it is the cathode in this voltaic cell, and so Ag+ is reduced, thus the reactions must be
2Ag+ (aq) + 2 e- = = > 2 Ag (s) 0
Pb (s) ==> Pb+2 (aq) + 2e-
********************************
2Ag+ (aq) + Pb (s) Pb+2 (aq) + 2 Ag (s)
Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode = 0.13 V – (- 0.83 V)
= 0.96 V
