Consider the following relations for emf of a electrochemical cell:

  1. emf of cell=(Oxidation potential of anode) - (Reduction potential of cathode)
  2. emf of cell=(Oxidation potential of anode) + (Reduction potential of cathode)
  3. emf of cell=(Reduction potential of anode) + (Reduction potential of cathode)
  4. emf of cell=(Oxidation potential of anode) - (Oxidation potential of cathode)
  • Option 1)

Electro-chemical series -

The standard reduction potential of a large number of electrodes have been measured using standard hydrogen electrode as the reference electrode. These various electrode can be arranged in increasing electrode potential.

 EMF of a cell = Reduction

potential of cathode- reduction

potential of anode

= Reduction potential of cathode +

oxidation potential of anode

= Oxidation potential of anode -

oxidation potential of cathode.
