Merge/expansion
I am currently working on a new version of this article at Standard electrode potential/Temp. Physchim62 (talk) 06:14, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
I agree that the two should be merged. There is little that one would want to say on either subject without a very large degree of overlap Ahw001 09:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I think it's better to mantain the articles separated because many people are in confusion with the different ways to relate to the same concept. 26 august 2006
A question
Can someone please explain to me why Li has a lower value than K (for example), but K is more electropositive? Thanks... -postglock 13:01, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Error Correction
I think there is a small problem with the first line of the standard reduction potentials table displayed in this article. it says:
F2(g) + 2e- --> 2 F (aq)
it _should_ say
F2(g) + 2e- --> 2 F- (aq)
I don't know how else to edit this. sorry — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.105.83.220 (talk • contribs)
- You are right, but I don't really have the software capable of fixing this up either. Anyone else? -postglock 14:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Dead Link
The 4th external link at the bottom on Electrochemical reactions doesn't seem to work for me, it just resturns a 404 error. Is this the same for anyone else? If so it should probably be removed. sijarvis 12:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Dead link removed. -postglock 14:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Absolute potential of each half-cell?
I'm changing this odd statement: there is no way to measure the individual potentials of the electrodes in isolation. There are ways to measure electrostatic potentials, but they're not simple and not very accurate. --Wjbeaty 03:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- With reference to what? earth? but then, whose earth? The absolute potential of a half-cell is undefined, and this has some significant implications for thermodynamics. I will invite other comments before reversing your edit, as you obviously believe what you're saying, even if I think you're wrong! :) Physchim62 (talk) 15:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
