Oxidation (electron loss) always accompanies

reduction (electron gain).
The oxidizing agent is-----------, and the reducing agent is ----------------
- reduced
- oxidized.
The number of electrons gained by the oxidizing agent always equals

the number lost by the reducing agent.
Reduction occurs at the ------------

cathode
Oxidation occurs at the --------

anode
_{---------------}> 0 for a spontaneous reaction

E_cell
1 Volt (V) =

1 Joule (J)/ Coulomb (C)
1 coulomg (C)= --------------

1 Joule (J)/1Volt (V)
electrode potentials are written as

reductions ie zinc =-1.76 but if you want to use it for oxidation reverse sign to +1.76
