24.1Electrolysis and the Faraday constant
Electrolysis is a reaction driven by electricity, and every electron can be counted.		Rally Coach6 Q, 18 marks8 MCQtab 1, tab 2
24.2Standard electrode potentials
A single half-cell has no measurable voltage on its own, so chemists compare each one with the standard hydrogen electrode.		Mix-Pair-Share6 Q, 16 marks8 MCQtab 3, tab 5
24.2Standard cell potentials and feasibility
Join two half-cells and the more positive one pulls electrons from the other.		Jigsaw6 Q, 16 marks8 MCQtab 4, tab 5
24.2The Nernst equation
Standard electrode potentials only hold at 1.00 mol dm −3.		Rally Coach6 Q, 15 marks8 MCQtab 6
