### Where to find Ecell values

Can someone point me to where to find a table of reduction potentials for common half reactions? Either in the book or on Lavelle's website...can't seem to find it

### Re: Where to find Ecell values

The Ecell values can be found in the back of the textbook in Appendix 2B.

Its in the book at Appendix 2B. (After Chapter 11 but before the answer key)

Appendix 2B has them and remember they are all given as reduction potentials. Keep that in mind while calculating the standard potentials

Appendix 2B or you can look it up online

Does anyone know when you would flip the sign in a half relation? I know that if you flip the equation the sign flips, but then do you not do this when calculating E(cell)? like if they give you the E value in the problem and the equation has to be flipped do you flip the sign?

My TA talks about the "e-chem series" and how if the value is higher then it has more oxidizing/reducing power, but what is the e-chem series?

They are located in Appendix 2B in the textbook.

The Ecell values given in Appendix 2B are for the reduction half reaction. You would flip the sign of the Ecell value and the equation if you were looking for the oxidation half reaction, and vice versa.

The Ecell values given in Appendix 2B are for the reduction half reaction. You would flip the sign of the Ecell value and the equation if you were looking for the oxidation half reaction, and vice versa.

In addition to this, what helps me is I just subtract the oxidation half reaction from the reduction half reaction, basically just flipping the sign anyways. Just be careful not to change the sign twice as he mentioned in class

Appendix 2B. I googled one table for Ecell values but calculations based on those were not the same as the solution manual.

### Re: Where to find Ecell values

Appendix 2B but make sure that to manipulate the values when the reaction is flipped.

Return to “Work, Gibbs Free Energy, Cell (Redox) Potentials”
