Calculating the Voltage of a reaction
« on: February 04, 2020, 09:50:00 AM »
Lets say we have...

2[I+ + e-  :rarrow: I]

And just for this reduction lets say the voltage is 1.5

So the answer is 1.5, correct?

Why dont you have to multiply the Voltage by the coefficient of the reaction (in this case, 2)?

Die answer is wrong, because no Unit is used.  1,5 is only a Number.

You need  NERNST EQUATION.

1.5 V. But my question is more about why doesnt the coefficient affect the voltage?

Does doubling the amount of water change its boiling point?

Please read on intensive and extensive properties.
