For a practice problem, I was a given the reduction potentials for each half reaction and a balanced equation.
I noticed that the balanced equation showed a different molar coefficient to one of the species and so I multiplied the reduction potential for that half reaction by the molar coeffiencient from the balanced equation.
Needless to say, I got the answer wrong. So, do we not modify the reduction potential in any way except for signage?
Thanks
