In our last post, we looked at the overview of electrode potentials, where we discussed metal ions/metal systems or half-cells, standard electrode potential and electrochemical cells in depth. Here, we will focus on the calculations involving electrode potentials, which include calculations of the electromotive force (e.m.f) of electrochemical cells , the relationship between e .m.f & free energy and the relationship between e .m.f & equilibrium constant. Half-Cell Reactions Std Reduction Potential , E° (V) K+(aq) + e- <----> K(s) -2.92 Ca2+(aq) + 2e- <----> Ca(s) ...
