Question

What is the standard electrode potential of a silver electrode (Ag) when it is dipped in a solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 298 K and 1 atm pressure? The reduction half-reaction for silver is: Ag+(aq) + e- -> Ag(s).

Answer 1

The standard electrode potential  E  for the reduction half-reaction of silver  Ag  is a constant value that can be found in standard reduction potential tables. For the given half-reaction:Ag+ aq  + e- -> Ag s The standard electrode potential  E  is +0.7996 V at 298 K and 1 atm pressure.
