Abstract

This study looked at potential hypothetical mathematical correlations between the activation energy in Arrhenius’ concept of how temperature affects equilibrium constant and the standard electrode potential of a redox reaction in an electrochemical cell. The investigation also revealed further connections between a cell’s standard electrode potential and the activation energy, rate constant, enthalpy change, and Gibbs free energy. Therefore, in order to improve the analysis of scientific data, particularly in the fields of bioelectrochemical, electrophoretic, and photoelectric research, this study suggests expanding on electrochemical equations.
