For a feasible reaction, the oxidising agent comes from a system with what E∘E^{\circ} value?

More positive than the reducing agent

What is a key limitation of using E∘E^{\circ} values to predict reactions?

They give no information about rate

What does a positive Ecell∘E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} value indicate?

Thermodynamically feasible reaction

When combining half-equations, what must be balanced before adding them together?

Electrons
