Standard electrode potential to produce an electric potential, Gibbs free energy Δ"G"° must be negative, in accordance with the following equation: where "n" is number of moles of electrons per mole of products and "F" is the Faraday constant, ~96485 C/mol. As such, the following rules apply: Thus in order to have a spontaneous reaction (ΔG° < 0), "E"° must be positive, where: where "E"° is the standard potential at the anode and "E"° is the standard potential at the cathode as given in the table of standard electrode potential. Standard electrode potential In electrochemistry, it is defined as the measure of the
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
