Calculating the standard reduction potential for the oxidation of water
I was working with Latimer and Frost diagrams for oxygen when I came across what seems to me a contradiction.
From the Latimer diagram for oxygen below, we know the standard reduction potential for ...

Why is water considered ionic in fuel cells but otherwise covalent?
If water, $\ce{H2O}$ is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons, why is it said (in case of fuel cells) that formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen is a redox reaction (transfer of ...
