Document Summary
Balancing redox reactions: redox reaction, one in which there are changes in the oxidation states. Spontaneity of redox reactions under stp: ecell under other than standard-state conditions is determined from and the reaction quotient, q, using the nernst equation. Standard cell potential, e cell, is calculated by subtracting e red of the anode from e red of the cathode. Free-e(cid:374)ergy (cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge, g, is calculated as the product of the number of electrons transferred in a redox reaction, n, the faraday constant, f, and the cell potential, ecell. Standard free-e(cid:374)ergy (cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge, g , is calculated as the product of the number of electrons transferred in a redox reaction, n, the faraday constant, f, and the standard cell potential, e cell. Standard cell potential, e cell, is proportional to the natural log (ln) of the equilibrium constant, k. At 25 c, the relationship between e cell and k is simplified.
