What links the half cells to each other
Salt/ion bridge
What is an electrode potential
A charge difference between the metal and the solution
What are standards conditions for a standard electrode potential
Conc of ions involved in half reaction must be 1 mol/l
Gas at 1 atmosphere
Temperature assumed 298K
What is the reference half cell
The standard hydrogen half cell
What is an oxidising agent
Electron acceptor p
To calculate the standard free energy for cell reaction related to voltage
^G = -nFE
What is a fuel cell
Generates electricity directly from a redox reaction
Reactant continually being added
Simplest is the hydrogen fuel cell
