MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2014
Instructor: Catherine Drennan

Viewers are introduced to agents of oxidation and agents of reduction. Are oxidizing agents really that bad for you? Hear from Professor John Essigmann about the double-edged sword that is oxidation-reduction. Oxidizing agents can protect us from disease but can also damage our genetic material. Friend or foe, you decide.

The happy student sharing the prize with their friend made me randomly happy, and I then posted about it-- completely unsolicted-- as a Youtube comment under the MIT OpenCourseWare video, knowing full well what I think of other strange comments posted under these lecture recordings.

@39:00 So the better reducing agent wants to reduce others and get oxidized itself.

Is there a mistake at 40:42 when the Ecell is given as Ecell = Ecell(anode) - Ecell(cathode)
I think previously it was the other way around?

Appreciable ma'am.! Really laudable.

Why not go with standard oxidation potentials instead.
