Definition of Electrode potential and equilibrium
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Electrode potential and equilibrium in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Equilibrium between the two oxidation states sets the electrode potential, which depends on the ratio of the two ion concentrations.
