a first course in electrode processes

voltage (electromotive force, emf) is determined by: E°cell = E°cathode – E°anode A positive E°cell indicates a spontaneous process, typical of galvanic cells. Electrode Kinetics and Overpotential While thermodynamics dictate whether a reaction can occur, kinetics determine h
