16.10—Standard electrode potentials to predict the thermodynamic feasibility of a reaction

Be able to use standard electrode potentials to predict the thermodynamic feasibility of a reaction.

Use —standard electrode potentials to predict the thermodynamic feasibility of a reaction to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —standard electrode potentials to predict the thermodynamic feasibility of a reaction determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —standard electrode potentials to predict the thermodynamic feasibility of a reaction to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Standard electrode potentials to predict the thermodynamic feasibility of a reaction is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
