The standard potentials (at pH = 7) are given for some important donors and
acceptors:
Reduced Species, Oxidized Product, Potential( V)
H2, H -041
H2O, 02, +0.822
H2 S, so4, -0.22
N2, No3, +0.75
Fe2+, Fe3+, +0.77
CH4 ,CO2, -0.24
Compute the overall standard potential (at pH 7) for transfer of electrons from
the follow pairs ofdonors and acceptors. Rank them from most energetic (most
positive) to least energetic: H2/Fe3+, H2S/02, CH4IN03", H2/02, Fe2+102,
and H2SIN03"
