Edexcel IAL Chemistry A2 16.10 feasibility from electrode potentials
Edexcel IAL Chemistry A2 16.10 feasibility from electrode potentials
Choose the relevant half-cells from the Data Booklet, calculate the cell potential and link a positive or negative value to feasibility under standard conditions.
How this is tested
- Calculate E°cell to decide whether a redox reaction is thermodynamically feasible.
- Compare reducing-agent strength by ordering ions or metals from electrode potentials.
- Select a reagent that reduces one oxidation state but not a further half-reaction.
