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

Re: Standard Cell Potentials
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.

Re: Standard Cell Potentials
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.

Re: Standard Cell Potentials
Is this because electrochemical reactions are intensive or is that incorrect?

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