单词 electrode potential
释义
electrode potential

Physics
  • The potential difference produced between the electrode and the solution in a half cell. It is not possible to measure this directly since any measurement involves completing the circuit with the electrolyte, thereby introducing another half cell. Standard electrode potentials E are defined by measuring the potential relative to a standard hydrogen half cell using 1.0 molar solution at 25°C. The convention is to designate the cell so that the oxidized form is written first. For example,

    Pt(s)|H 2(g)H +(aq)|Zn 2+(aq)|Zn(s)

    The e.m.f. of this cell is −0.76 volt (i.e. the zinc electrode is negative). Thus the standard electrode potential of the Zn2+|Zn half cell is −0.76 V. Electrode potentials are also called reduction potentials. See also electromotive series.

Chemical Engineering
  • The potential difference between an electrode and the solution in a half-cell. This is not able to be measured directly but instead standard electrode potentials E° are defined by measuring the potential relative to a standard hydrogen half-cell using molar solution at 25°C. By convention, the cell is written with the oxidized cell first. Published tables are used that list standard electrode potentials. For example, the standard electrode potential of the half-cell Cu|CuSO4 is 0.34 volt, and the standard electrode potential of the half-cell Ag|AgNO3 is 0.80 volt. The e.m.f. of a cell Cu|CuSO4| AgNO3|Ag is therefore 0.46 volt.
