Standard electrode potential (data page)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The values of standard electrode potentials are given in the table below in volts relative to the standard hydrogen electrode and are assembled from references [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] The values are for the following conditions:
- the temperature of 298.15 K (25 °C);
- the effective concentration of 1 mol/L for each aqueous species or a species in a mercury amalgam;
- the partial pressure of 101.325 kPa (absolute) (1 atm, 1.01325 bar) for each gaseous reagent. This pressure is used because most literature data are still given for this value rather than for the current standard of 100 kPa.
- the activity of unity for each pure solid, pure liquid, or for water (solvent).
The table can be sorted alphabetically by clicking on the sort icon in the column heading. Click on the other column to re-sort by potential. This doesn’t work in the Safari web browser (as of v. 3.1.2); reload the page to restore the original order.
Legend: (s) – solid; (l) – liquid; (g) – gas; (aq) – aqueous (default for all charged species); (Hg) – amalgam.

- ^ a b Not specified in the indicated reference, but assumed due to the difference between the value −0.454 and that computed by (2×−0.499 + −0.508) ÷ 3 = −0.502 exactly matching the difference between white and red phosphorus in equilibrium with phosphine.
[edit] In oxidative phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation is the means by which organism generate energy, and is driven by differences in electrode potential between intermediaries in a chain of reactions.
The following values are calculated for pH 7, which is more biologically realistic, but makes the values incompatible with the values in the table above with standard criteria.
