Use of EθE^\theta values

Predict direction of redox reactions

Positive EcellθE^\theta_{\text{cell}} indicates

Reaction is feasible in predicted direction

Initial format for half-equations

As reduction reactions (gaining electrons)

EθE^\theta value undergoing oxidation

More negative EθE^\theta value

EθE^\theta value undergoing reduction

Less negative or more positive EθE^\theta value

Formula for EcellθE^\theta_{\text{cell}}

Ereductionθ−EoxidationθE^\theta_{\text{reduction}} - E^\theta_{\text{oxidation}}
