What is calculating standard cell potential?Show answer
For a complete cell, identify which half-reaction is reduction (cathode) and which is oxidation (anode), then:
What is predicting spontaneity?Show answer
To predict whether a given oxidising agent will react with a given reducing agent, find both half-reactions in the table. If the oxidising agent's half-reaction is higher (more positive) than the reducing agent's, the reaction is spontaneous; the combined will be positive.
