Lesson: Electrochemical Cell Potential Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the standard cell potential of galvanic cells using values from the electrochemical series.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

describe the electromotive series,
combine standard electrode potentials to calculate the standard cell potential,
deduce the direction of flow of electrons in a galvanic cell,
compare electrode potentials to determine the strength of an oxidizing or reducing agent,
analyze standard cell potentials to deduce the feasibility of a reaction.
