Description
Electrode Potentials provides a comprehensive introduction to equilibrium electrochemistry. This primer explores how electrode potentials and their applications can be used to understand the foundations of electrochemistry and solve practical problems. Key features include in-depth coverage of key subjects such as equilibrium constants, Gibbs Energy, enthalpy and entropy changes of chemical reactions, and activity coefficients. The book also includes extensive problems and worked examples to support learning. The second edition introduces new topics, including batteries and fuel cells, and provides additional resources, including bibliographic notes on historical founders and modern influencers of electrochemistry, Frost and Latimer diagrams, and enhanced discussion of diffusion and transport.
