Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The free energy change of given voltaic cell should be calculated by using standard reduction potentials.
Concept introduction:
Cell potential (EMF):
The maximum potential difference between two electrodes in the voltaic cell is known as cell potential.
If standard reduction potentials of electrodes are given the cell potential (EMF) is given by,
