Question

Differentiate between reduction electrode potential and oxidation potential with examples. Do not provide any links

Open in App

Solution

(i) Oxidation potential: When electrode is negatively charged with respect to solution, i.e., it acts as anode. Oxidation occurs. M ---> Mⁿ⁺ + e^- (loss of electron)
(ii) Reduction potential: When electrode is positively charged with respect to solution, i.e., it acts as cathode. (gain of electron)
Mⁿ⁺ + e^----> M
