Noun
electrode potential (plural electrode potentials)
(chemistry, physics) the potential difference of a half-reaction which occurs across a reversible cell made up of any electrode and a standard hydrogen electrode
Conversely, if the measured potential is negative, the electrode is more oxidizing than the SHE (such as Zn in ZnSO 4 where the standard electrode potential is −0.76 V). Source: Internet
In a cell, there will be an electrode potential for the cathode, and an electrode potential for the anode. Source: Internet
In principle the voltage required to electrolyze a salt solution can be derived from the standard electrode potential for the reactions at the anode and cathode. Source: Internet
It follows that electrode potential is proportional to pH when pH is defined in terms of activity. Source: Internet
Measurement Three-electrode setup for measurement of electrode potential. Source: Internet
Standard electrode potential main To allow prediction of the cell potential, tabulations of standard electrode potential are available. Source: Internet
