Question

Explain why cell potentials are not multiplied by the coefficients in the balanced equation.

Answer 1

Cell potentials are not multiplied by the coefficients in the balanced equation because it is a intensive property, independent of stoichiometric coefficients.

The potential differential between the two electrodes of an electrochemical cell, which develops when electrons are sent via the external circuit of a cell that has not reached equilibrium, is known as the cell potential.

The half-reaction must be multiplied by an integer as the quantity of electrons acquired and lost must be equal. Standard reduction potential is not multiplied by the integer necessary to balance the cell reaction since it is an intense property and does not rely on how frequently the reaction happens.

Coefficients are the values added in front of formulae to balance equations; they multiply each atom in a formula.
