Standard reduction potentials for zinc(II) and copper(II) The standard reduction potential for a substance indicates how readily that substance gains electrons relative to other substances at standard conditions. The more positive the reduction potential, the more easily the substance gains electrons. Consider the following: Zn2+(aq)+2e−→Zn(s),Cu2+(aq)+2e−→Cu( s), E∘red=−0.763 V E∘red=+0.337 V

Standard reduction potentials for zinc(II) and copper(II)

The standard reduction potential for a substance indicates how readily that substance gains electrons relative to other substances at standard conditions. The more positive the reduction potential, the more easily the substance gains electrons. Consider the following:

Zn2+(aq)+2e−→Zn(s),Cu2+(aq)+2e−→Cu(s), E∘red=−0.763 V E∘red=+0.337 V

Part B

What is the standard potential, E∘cell, for this galvanic cell? Use the given standard reduction potentials in your calculation as appropriate.

Express your answer to three decimal places and include the appropriate units.

1.100 V

Explanation:

E∘cell= E∘cathode - E∘anode

E∘cathode= +0.337 V

E∘anode= −0.763 V

E∘cell= 0.337-(-0.763)

E∘cell= 1.1V

the atomic mass is the bottom number on the element.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
