<p>Standard hydrogen electrode</p>

Standard hydrogen electrode

A half-cell in which H2 gas at pressure 101 kPa bubbles through a solution of 1 mol.dm-3 of H+ ions

New cards
3
<p>Standard electrode potential</p>

Standard electrode potential

The voltage produced when a standard half-cell is connected to a standard hydrogen electrode under SD

New cards
4

Standard cell potential

The difference in standard electrode potential between 2 specific half-cells

New cards
5

Half-cell

One half of an electrochemical cell which either donates or receives electrons from an external circuit when connected to another half-cell

New cards
6

Electrolysis

The decomposition of an ionic compound when it is a molten/aqueous solution by an electric current

New cards
7

Electrolyte

A molten ionic compound or an aqueous solution of ions that is decomposed during electrolysis

New cards
8

Electrodes

A rod of metal or carbon (graphite) which conducts electricity to or from an electrolyte

New cards
