Redox reactions play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology The values of standard redox potential E of two half cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited For the cell Pt H 0 4 atm H pH 1 H pH 2 H 0 1 atm Pt The measured potential at 25 C is Given 2 303 RT F 0 06V log 2 0 3 A 0 1 V B 0 5 C 0 042 D 0 035
