Electrochemical series ranks metals by reducing ability; used to predict spontaneity of redox reactions and corrosion susceptibility.
Guía paso a paso
- 1Input two half-reactions
- 2Look up standard reduction potentials
- 3Calculate cell potential: E°_cell = E°_cathode - E°_anode
Ejemplos resueltos
Entrada
Zn + Cu²⁺: E° = 0.76 - (-0.76) = 1.52 V (spontaneous)
Resultado
Opposite reaction non-spontaneous (unless forced)
Errores comunes a evitar
- ✕Confusing oxidation and reduction half-reactions
- ✕Using wrong sign convention
Preguntas frecuentes
What's the relationship to corrosion?
Metal higher in series (more negative) acts as anode, corrodes preferentially.
