@@ChadsPrep Just a quick question that now after 4 months I came back and it doesn't sit with me- Because the standard cell potential is Cathode minus anode but you wrote it as minus 0.76 volts for zinc and minus 0.28 for cooper(when according to what is written on the internet it actually should be positive 0.34 for cooper meaning cooper is the cathode). Please tell me if my observations are correct or perhaps there is something I am missing here. Thanks a lot in any case!
@@sroydetroy6404 First of all, you are correct in stating that the reduction potential of copper is 0.34V. But the elemental symbol for copper is Cu, not Co. This problem involves cobalt whose elemental symbol is Co, not copper, and the reduction potential for cobalt as written is -0.28V. Hope this helps!
@@ChadsPrep Another question that rose up to my mind since I understand the Nernst equation can be written in many ways - is I understand(from internet sources) that 0.059 and 0.029 are for the passage of 1 mole and 2 moles of electrons respectively. But I didn't quite understand why we are using the value of 0.0275 for the equation with natural log. I get that multiplying it by 2.03 will get you the equation with log base 10 but I didn't get why we are using this number(0.027 and instead of 0.029) in the first place and while we are at it- how do I even know which number to use? sorry if this was a mouth full but this equation has many details in it with whom some of which I still don't understand. thanks in advance.
The concept explanation is crystal clear, thank you!
You're welcome.
thank you for this! very easy to understand, I appreciate how you walk through every step and explain it very thoroughly.
You're very welcome!
Chad's Prep is always the best. Thank you Sir!!!
You're welcome and thank you.
Very timely upload with my MCAT studies. Thank you Chad.
You're welcome, Dom!
Awesome lesson!! Really cleared things up!!
Glad to hear it!
Nice video, can you please do a video on cell potential but with a reaction that precipitates out a solid
thank you chad, very precise explanation.
You're welcome and Thank You.
Thank you I have understood
I wanted to ask isfarady value 96500 or 96487
96485 C/mol
Thankyou for nice explanation ......we need more videos 🤲
You're welcome. More coming soon!
Awesome class sir
Thank you
Great video. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome and Thank You!

In summary: Chad is my professor and my university is merely a place for me to go take accredited tests...
And thanks for all your positive comments!
Thank,s Respectful Sir 😊
You're welcome!
how to calculate number of electrons if the anode and cathode don't share the same number of electrons????
You need to balance the equation so there's the same number of electrons is on each side
Thank you sir
You're welcome, Stephen!
Nice sir!
Thanks!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy Studying!
