Factors Affecting Electrode Potential

Question 1

4 factors are?

Answer 1

1. Nature of metal
2. Concentration of hydrated metal ions
3. Temperature
4. Pressure

Question 2

The concept revolves around?

Answer 2

LCP

Question 3

Explain the nature of metal

Answer 3

• electronegativity scale
• > tendency to become positive ions

=> reactions favour the more positive Eo
=> LCP

Question 4

Explain concentration of hydrated metal ions

Answer 4

@LCP

• p.o.e shifts to LHS;
• favour oxidation
• Eo more negative

Question 5

Explain the effect of temp

Answer 5

• change in tendency for the metal to dissolve in solution to form hydrated ions
• dissolve more readily
• endo or exo
• > p.o.e

Question 6

Explain pressure

Answer 6

@LCP

-p.o.e shifts to the side with less no of moles
