14.4 Standard Cell Potential | High School Chemistry

In this lesson Chad demonstrates how to quickly and easily calculate standard cell potential from a Table of Standard Reduction Potentials. He shows how to use the two commonly provided equations correctly:
Ecell = Ecat – Ean
Ecell = Ered + Eox
And how to avoid making the most common mistake involving the sign of the potential for the oxidation half-reaction. It is also shown how to quickly determine the strongest oxidizing agent and the strongest reducing agent from a Table of Standard Reduction Potentials. Finally, the lesson concludes with a demonstration of how to predict when redox pairs will react spontaneously from a Table of Standard Reduction Potentials.

I’ve created a high school chemistry page that organizes all my videos by chapter – just an easier way for you to watch my YouTube videos. Check it out at https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-high-school-chemistry-videos/
