How can the reduction potential of an electrode increased ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To increase the reduction potential of an electrode, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reduction Reaction The reduction potential is related to the reaction where a cation (Mn⁺) gains electrons to form a solid (M). This is a reduction process. ### Step 2: Use the Nernst Equation The Nernst equation relates the reduction potential (E) to the standard reduction potential (E°) and the concentrations of the reactants and products: \[ E = E^\circ - \frac{RT}{nF} \ln \left( \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]} \right) \] ...
