What is the Cell Potential Calculator?

The Cell Potential Calculator helps chemistry students and electrochemistry learners determine the standard cell potential (E°cell) of a galvanic or electrochemical cell. By entering the standard electrode potentials of the cathode and anode, this tool calculates the overall cell potential, which indicates the driving force for the redox reaction and the ability of the cell to produce electrical energy under standard conditions.

How to Use:

1. Enter Cathode Standard Potential (E°cathode): Input the standard electrode potential of the cathode in volts (V).
2. Enter Anode Standard Potential (E°anode): Input the standard electrode potential of the anode in volts (V).
3. Click “Calculate”: The calculator subtracts the anode potential from the cathode potential to give the standard cell potential.
4. Review Result: The output shows the standard cell potential (E°cell) in volts (V), helping you analyze the feasibility and direction of the electrochemical reaction.
