- By convention, electrode potentials are written as reductions.
- When pairing two half-cells, you must reverse one reduction half-cell to produce an oxidation half-cell. Reverse the sign of the potential.
- The reduction half-cell potential and the oxidation half-cell potential are added to obtain the Eocell.
- When writing a spontaneous redox reaction, the left side (reactants) must contain the stronger oxidizing and reducing agents.
