Respuesta :
The cell potential is the measure of the potential difference which allows the flow of electron from one half cell to another half cell.
Explanation:
An electrochemical cell is a cell in which chemical reactions take place to generate electricity. This is done with the help of oxidation and reduction-half reactions taking place at anode and cathode electrodes.
As a result, a cell potential generates and values of this cell potential can be measured as follows.
[tex]E^{o}_{cell}[/tex] = [tex]E^{o}_{(cathode)}[/tex] - [tex]E^{o}_{(anode)}[/tex]
Thus, in an electrochemical cell, the cell potential is the measure of the reduction potentials of the two half-cells.
