Electrochemical Cells, Half-Cell Potentials

Some half-reactions can be made into half-cell electrodes
Joining half-cells gives galvanic or electrochemical cells; chemical reactions give electric current
Need a salt-bridge to conduct ions and balance charges
Zero of half-cell potentials is standard hydrogen electrode, SHE
Convention is half-cell potentials are for reduction half reactions
Table of half-cell potentials is electrochemical series; shows good oxidizing and reducing agents
E⁰ = 0.0592VlogK/n n=no. of electrons transferred
Nernst equation for non-standard conditions: E = E⁰ – 0.0592VlogQ/n; Q = reaction quotient
pH meter shows use of Nernst equation
Specific ion electrodes for measuring ion concentrations ia Nernst equation
