Question 1

What is the defined standard potential of the SHE?

  • 0.00 V
  • 1.00 V
  • -0.76 V

💡 Hint: This is the reference point for all other potentials.

Question 2

True or False: A higher E° value indicates a stronger tendency for a substance to be oxidized.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what oxidation and reduction mean.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a galvanic cell with the following half-reactions:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag (E° = +0.80 V)
Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Zn (E° = -0.76 V)
Calculate E°_cell and discuss its implications for the spontaneity of the reaction.

💡 Hint: Calculate the cell potential using E° values.

Question 2

Discuss how the E° values for two substances influence their practical uses as electrodes in battery technology.

💡 Hint: Reflect on what these values suggest about electrode behavior.
