Standard Reduction Potentials of Half-Cells
« on: December 03, 2009, 08:44:06 AM »
ex. Li^+ + e^- = Li (s) --------> Enot = -3.00

1. If I reverse this reaction...

Li (s) = Li^+ + e^-     will the enot change to +3.00?

Also, if I change where the electron is...

Li (s) - e^- = Li^+, will the enot change back to -3.00?

No, reaction occurs always at the same potential, doesn't matter which way it goes.
