Electrical potential of half reaction? Can you confirm my answer?
William S asked:
If the reduction half-reaction Cd(2+)(aq) + e- ? Cd(s) has to be multiplied by 2 to balance the electrons before you add it to an oxidation half reaction, what is the electrical potential of this reduction half reaction?
I got an answer of -0.40 V. Am i correct?
Yes, the STANDARD reduction potential does not depend on how much material goes into reaction (or electrons). So it would always be -.4V
