When do I use E_cell = E_cathode − E_anode in Electrochemistry, and what does it mean?

standard cell EMF from electrode potentials.

E_cell = E_cathode − E_anode — standard cell EMF from electrode potentials. Use it when: standard conditions. Always check the condition holds before plugging in numbers.

Key point

E_cell = E_cathode − E_anode
