1
Q
How to calculate EMF of cell ?
A
Negative half cell = oxidise ( go backwards )
Positive half cell = reduce (go forwards)
EMF= reduction - oxidation
2
Q
How to calculate Gibbs free energy from EMF ?
A
Gibbs = -n x F x Ecell
Faraday constant = 96,485 C/mol
3
Q
How to measure cell potential under non standard conditions ?
A
E = E° - (0.0591/n) x log (products/reactents)
