Question

Fluorinated krypton compounds have the highest-known values for this quantity. Values for this quantity accompany each of the arrows on a Latimer diagram. (10[2])This quantity is ramped up and down in an analytical technique that produces so-called “duck-like” graphs. (10[1])Scientists are gradually phasing out devices that measure this quantity using saturated calomel metal. The natural log of the (-5[1])reaction quotient multiplied by the quantity RT over zF is used to determine this quantity for a reaction at non-standard conditions. The (-5[1])SHE (“S-H-E”) cell is used to define the zero-value for this quantity using hydrogen (10[1])and a (10[1])platinum electrode. For 10 points, the Nernst equation calculates (10[1])what tendency of a chemical species to lose or gain electrons, which is measured in volts? ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: reduction potential [or redox potential; accept oxidation potential; accept standard reduction potential or cell potential; accept half-reaction potential; prompt on E; prompt on voltage]
