electrochemical series
Petr Vanýsek
There are three tables for this electrochemical series . Each table lists standard reduction potentials, E° values, at 298 .15 K (25 °C), and at a pressure of 101 .325 kPa (1 atm) . Table 1 is an alphabetical listing of the elements, according to the symbol of the elements . Thus, data for silver (Ag) precede those for aluminum (Al) . Table 2 lists only those reduction reactions that have E° values posi-tive in respect to the standard hydrogen electrode . In Table 2, the reactions are listed in the order of increasing positive potential, and they range from 0 .0000 V to + 3 .4 V . Table 3 lists only those reduction potentials which have E° negative with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode . In Table 3, the reactions are listed in the order of decreasing potential and range from 0 .0000 V to –4 .10 V . The reliability of the potentials is not the same for all the data . Typically, the values with fewer significant figures have lower
reliability . The values of reduction potentials, in particular those of less common reactions, are not definite; they are subject to oc-casional revisions .Abbreviations: ac = acetate; bipy = 2,2´-dipyridine, or bipyridine; en = ethylenediamine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline .
