Eh = E = E° + (2.303RT/nF)logQ = (0.05916/n)logQ
E° = -(0.05916/n)logK
Eh = 1.23 + 0.01479log[O2] - 0.05916pH
Electrode Potential
Separate the reaction into half-reactions and add the e-
2
The potential measured for the entire reaction is then
assigned to the half-cell reaction of interest:
2+
Zn (aq ) + H 2 ( g ) ←
→ Zn( s ) + 2 H +
Eh = E = E° + (2.303RT/nF)logQ = (0.05916/n)logQ
(+) Eh means the metal ion is reduced by H2(g) to the metal
(-) Eh means the metal will be oxidized to the ion and H+ is reduced
Calculating the Eh of Net Reactions
We can calculate Eh values by algebraic combinations of the
reactions and potentials that are listed in Table 14.3 of the text.
Fe3+(aq) + e- ←→ Fe2+(aq)
Fe2+(aq) + 2e- ←→ Fe(s)
Since the reactions sum, we might assume that we can simply sum
the Eh values to obtain the Eh of the net reaction.
