    The following table provides Eo and Eo´ values for selected reduction reactions. Values are from the following sources: Bard, A. J.; Parsons, B.; Jordon, J., eds. Standard Potentials in Aqueous Solutions, Dekker: New York, 1985; Milazzo, G.; Caroli, S.; Sharma, V. K. Tables of Standard Electrode Potentials, Wiley: London, 1978; Swift, E. H.; Butler, E. A. Quantitative Measurements and Chemical Equilibria, Freeman: New York, 1972.

    Solids, gases, and liquids are identified; all other species are aqueous. Reduction reactions in acidic solution are written using H+ in place of H3O+. You may rewrite a reaction by replacing H+ with H3O+ and adding to the opposite side of the reaction one molecule of H2O per H+; thus

    \(\ce{H3AsO4 + 2H^{+} + 2e^{–} <=> HAsO2 + 2H2O} \nonumber\)

    becomes

    \(\ce{H3AsO4 + 2H3O^{+} + 2e^{–} <=> HAsO2 + 4H2O} \nonumber\)
