Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of chemical reactions involving electricity. It involves the use of electrolytic cells to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, or vice versa.
A cell reaction is a chemical reaction that takes place in an electrolytic cell. It involves the transfer of electrons from one species to another, resulting in the formation of a product or products.
The cell reaction that will proceed toward the formation of more products is the one with a higher standard cell potential. This means that the reaction has a greater tendency to occur in the forward direction, resulting in the formation of more products.
We can determine which cell reaction will form more products by calculating the standard cell potential for each reaction. The reaction with a higher standard cell potential will proceed in the forward direction, resulting in the formation of more products.
The direction of a cell reaction can be affected by factors such as the concentration of reactants and products, temperature, and the presence of catalysts. These factors can alter the standard cell potential and change the direction of the reaction toward the formation of more or less products.
