CHM 320 - Lecture 25 Chapt 14Standard PotentialsChapter 14 continued• Standardized potentials (Eo), listed as reductions, for all half-reactions• Measured versus the S.H.E (0)• Used in predicting the action in either a galvanic cell or how much energy would be needed to force a specific reaction in a non-spontaneous cell• Assumes an activity of one for the species of interest (usually a fair approximation) at a known temperature in a cell with the S.H.E.• Assumes that the cell of interest is connected to the (+) terminal of the potentiometer (voltmeter) and the S.H.E. is connected to the (-) terminalCHM 320 - Lecture 25 Chapt 14Better Oxidizing Agents in upper left hand corner.Better ReducingAgents in lowerRight hand cornerCHM 320 - Lecture 25 Chapt 14What is E°’??• E°’ is used in biochemistry to express the standard reduction potentials (E°) for conditions at pH 7.• E°’ is more useful for biochemists since most biological systems are near pH 7.• Many redox reactions involved H+-- by expressing E° as E°’, then it is understood that the [H+] = 10-7M. • Table 14-2 (pg. 303) lists the E° and E°’for various reduction reactions of interest in biochemistry.CHM 320 - Lecture 25 Chapt 14Using the Nernst Equation to Solve for a Species Concentration(Chemical Sensor)The cell is described as follows.
