10 views2 pages

Document Summary

Electric potential: has no absolute value, but rather arbitrary assignments based on the zero value of the half reaction at. A. multiphase series of components; no component is in more than one phase. C. one must be impermeable to electrons (if not: electrons would come to equilibrium quickly due to free movement) Impermeable phase: ionic conductor that carries current in the form of ions. Impermeable phase: an electrolyte solution called a salt bridge. E. voltage ( electromotive force ) = potential difference between t and t". Strip of metal + electrolyte solution it"s submerged in = half cell. D. both terminals: must be made of the same material. Cell potential e / electromotive force ( emf) Potential difference between the two terminals when not connected. Always positive: always has chemical energy than can be converted to work. Concentrations of the solutions in the half cells. Reactions of the solutions in the half cells.
