    If you're still having trouble understanding redox agents think of them as being counter current: Oxidizing agent -> is Reduced through causing the other to give up their electron. Reducing agent -> is oxidized through causing the other to gain the electron they gave up.

    My professor said the numbers should always be subtracted as the formula is reduction minus oxidation ... that numbers should be left as is with values regardless of if they are reduced or not. You just have to know where to put what and now I'm totally confused. Just looked over all his notes to make sure and it's written as this and in the book as well. :(

    You're both correct! The usual equation is Reduction - Oxidation, with the normal values from the table. The second equation (Reduction + Oxidation) is a result of FLIPPING the sign of your oxidation half reaction. For example, if your reaction involves Fe being reduced (E= -.44V) and Li being oxidized (E= -3.05V), then the first equation involves using the values directly from the table. So, it will look like this: (-0.44)-(-03.05)= 2.61V. The second equation involves flipping the sign of the oxidation value, because the chemical equation itself is flipped around. So, the second equation looks like this: (-0.44)+(+3.05)=2.61V. Both methods give you the same answer, it just depends on if you remember to change the sign for Eox.

Just one question regarding the reverse part, my lecture told us that whenever you reverse any half Redox reaction equation the sign remains the same, however when you reverse the oxidation half reaction for Zn you change the sign, so I'm really confused now, can you clarify that for me please???............Thank you

    I know that you pby have graduated but imma explain one thing for everyone who might be triggered by what your prof said .. He is wrong, The reason is : How do you reverse an equation ? actually you just multiple the whole equation by (-1), the equation here means both the Reactants and the Products, AND ALSO the potential. So yes, whenever you reverse the half reaction equation you need to change the sign.

    The formula for calculation of Standard Reduction Potential give at 5.05 is wrong. All Chemistry textbooks I have counter checked this with shows that the correct formula as: e = e (+ve) - e(-ve). See for example Chang Raymond on page 844 (10th edition) uses the formula given above. Khan Academy, can you please comment?
