Electrode potential Electrode potential Electrode potential, "E", in chemistry or electrochemistry, according to a IUPAC definition, is the electromotive force of a cell built of two electrodes: The SHE is defined to have a potential of 0 V, so the signed cell potential from the above setup is SHE is cathode and electrode is anode Electrode potential appears at the interface between an electrode and electrolyte due to the transfer of charged species across the interface, specific adsorption of ions at the interface, and specific adsorption/orientation of polar molecules, including those of the solvent. Electrode potential is the electric potential on an
Electrolytic Zinc Electrolytic Zinc Electrolytic Zinc or the Electrolyic Zinc Company of Australasia (frequently abbreviated to "EZ" ) was the company that operated a Zinc refinery on the banks of the Derwent River in Risdon in Hobart in Tasmania between 1916 and 1984. The refinery was often given names such as the "Risdon works", the "Zinc works","reduction works" The current usage and place name located at the Risdon works is identified as Lutana. The operations of the Risdon works were tied in with the mining of zinc in Rosebery on the West Coast of Tasmania. The company started operation in 1916 at
