Use the Data Booklet value for each half-cell, subtract in the correct direction and check a positive E°cell before writing the feasible cell reaction.

How this is tested

  • Calculate E°cell from Data Booklet values using right minus left or equivalent.
  • Deduce unknown electrode potentials from measured emf and a reference half-cell.
  • Use positive E°cell to choose reaction direction and combine balanced half-equations.
