Show

Half-rxn that proceeds forward has what ε°\varepsilon°?

Algebraically larger ε°\varepsilon°

More negative ε°\varepsilon° means metal is...

More reactive

Spontaneous redox rxn criterion for E°totalE°_{total}

Positive (E°total>0E°_{total} > 0)

Greater ε°\varepsilon° = stronger...

Oxidising agent

More negative ε°\varepsilon° = stronger...

Reducing agent

Other half-rxn is driven in what direction?

Reverse

As ε°\varepsilon° increases, metal reactivity...

Decreases

What is a spontaneous reaction?

Occurs naturally without external energy input

Mg (ε°\varepsilon°=-2.37V) vs Al (-1.66V): more reactive?

Mg (more negative ε°\varepsilon°)

Formula for total cell voltage

E°total=E°1+E°2E°_{total} = E°_1 + E°_2
