I really liked how you made the first paragraph much easier to read. Maybe you could of explained a little more what each terms means when you re-wrote it. It might be a little easier for people to read. But over all great job.





Each half-reaction has a standard electrode potential (E0cell), which is the voltage generated from the reaction at equilibrium under standard conditions of an electrochemical cell.

The electrode potential of each half-reaction is also known as its reduction potential E0red, or potential when the half-reaction takes place at a cathode. The reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of the oxidizing agent to be reduced. H+ has a reduction potential of zero, the values of oxidizing agents that are stronger than H+ are positive and the values of oxidizing agents that are weaker than H+ are negative.

For a redox reaction which takes place in a cell, the potential difference E0cell = E0cathode – E0anode
