[PDF] cell potential practice problems

How do you solve for cell potential?

The standard potential for any cell can be calculated by subtracting the standard reduction potential of the half-reaction occurring at the anode from the standard reduction potential of the half-reaction occurring at the cathode.

How do you solve electrochemistry problems?

If the value of E°_cell is negative, then the reaction is not spontaneous, and it will not occur as written under standard conditions; it will, however, proceed spontaneously in the opposite direction.
As we shall see, this does not mean that the reaction cannot be made to occur at all under standard conditions.
