Lecture 11: Cell Potentials Reading: Zumdahl 11.2 Outline What is a cell potential? SHE, the electrochemical zero. Using standard reduction potentials. Reminder “Redox” Chemistry: Reduction and Oxidation Galvanic Cells (cont.) Galvanic Cells (cont.) Galvanic Cells (cont.) Cell Potentials In a galvanic cell, we had a species being oxidized at the anode, a species being reduced at the cathode, and electrons flowing from anode to cathode. Cell potential and work From the definition of electromotive force (emf): Cell Potentials (cont.) We can measure the magnitude of the EMF causing electron (
