A galvanic cell consists of a La³⁺/La half-cell and a standard hydrogen electrode.If the La³⁺/La half-cell standard cell functions as the anode,and the standard cell potential is 2.52 V,what is the standard reduction potential for the La³⁺/La half-cell?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard hydrogen electrode has a potential of 0 V. Since the La³⁺/La half-cell functions as the anode, it is oxidized, and its standard reduction potential is the negative of the cell potential, which is -2.52 V.
