Standard Cell Potentials

[Farah Ahmad 2A]

If a half-reaction is multiplied by a value is the value of the Standard Cell Potential of the reaction affected?

[Caitlin Mispagel 1D]

No, unlike Hess's Law when you multiply a redox half reaction by a factor you do not also multiply the cell potential by that factor.

[ConnorThomas2E]

The standard cell potential is not changed because it is equal to deltaG/(n*F). Therefore, if you would double the reaction, you would end up doubling both deltaG and n, which would cancel out.

Is this because electrochemical reactions are intensive or is that incorrect?

[Rana YT 2L]

yes it is because potentials are intensive properties

[Ryan Neis 2L]

No, multiplying a half-reaction by a factor does not affect the Standard Cell Potential value
