Cell potential (E°cell) measures the voltage of an electrochemical cell — the driving force for electron transfer. E°cell = E°cathode − E°anode. A positive cell potential indicates a spontaneous reaction.
Trinn-for-trinn guide
- 1Identify the half-reactions (oxidation at anode, reduction at cathode)
- 2Find standard reduction potentials from table
- 3E°cell = E°cathode (reduction) − E°anode (reduction)
- 4ΔG° = −nFE° (n = electrons, F = 96,485 C/mol)

Inndata
Zn | Zn²⁺ || Cu²⁺ | Cu cell · E°(Cu)=+0.34V · E°(Zn)=−0.76V
Resultat
E°cell = 0.34−(−0.76) = 1.10V
