Question
If the cell potential is proportional to work and the standard reduction potential for the hydrogen ion is zero, does this mean that the reduction of the hydrogen ion requires no work?
Step 1
Cell potential is proportional to the work done in an electrochemical cell, which is related to the energy change during a redox reaction. Show more…

The equation for electric potential energy with respect to charge is UE = qV. Does this support the idea that no work is done when voltage is constant? Explain. If no work is done, does this mean no force is exerted?
(a) What is a standard reduction potential? (b) What is the standard reduction potential of a standard hydrogen electrode?
Suppose that the electric potential outside a living cell is higher than that inside the cell by 0.070 V. How much work is done by the electric force when a sodium ion (charge $=+e )$ moves from the outside to the inside?
