A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential E°red = +0.19 v. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the cathode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 0.80 v of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.
Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at cathode of the cell.
Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the anode of this cell can have?
a. yes, there is a minimum.
b. no minimum
