Coulomb’s Law
The magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by the Point charges on
each other is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the
charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between
them.
$% $&
Mathematically: 𝐹 = 𝑘
'&
Where:
• F is the electrostatic force in newtons (N).
• Q1 and Q2 are charges in coulombs (C).
• r is the distance between the two charges in metres (m).
• k is the proportionality constant (Coulombs Law constant) with the
value of 9x109 N∙m2.C-2.
Worked example 1: [in one dimension (1D)]
Two point-like charges carrying charges of +3 nC and −5 nC are 2m apart.
Determine the magnitude of the force between them and state whether it is
attractive or repulsive.
Answer
Step 1: Determine what is required.
We are required to find the force between two point charges given
the charges
and the distance between them.
Step 2: Determine how to approach the problem
We can use Coulomb’s Law to find the force.
F = kQ1Q2
r2
Step 3: Determine what is given
We are given:
• Q1 = +3 nC = +3 × 10−9C
• Q2 = -5 nC = −5 × 10−9C
• r = 2m

Physical Sciences Grade 11 Document 2017
We know that k = 9 × 109 N · m2 · C−2.
Draw the diagram.
Q1 =+3 X 10-9 Q2 = -5 X 10-9
Step 4: Check units and convert them.
• Q1 = +3 nC = +3 × 10−9C
• Q2 = -5 nC = −5 × 10−9C
Step 5: Determine the magnitude of the force.
Using Coulomb’s Law we have.
F = kQ1Q2
r2
= (9, 0 × 109)(3 × 10−9)(5 × 10−9)
(2)2
= 3, 38 × 10−8 N
Thus the magnitude of the force is 3, 38 × 10−8N. However, since both point
charges have opposite signs, the force will be attractive.
Worked example 2 [in one dimension (1D)]
The charges on two small objects, A and B, are -8µC and -2µC respectively. A
and B are 340 cm apart.
1.1 Calculate the force exerted by the charges on each other.

Worked example 4 [in two dimensions (2D)] - Nov 2014(Question 9)
Two point charges of +2 μC and +3 μC are placed a distance of 0, 2 m apart. P is a
point on the line joining the two charges, a distance of x m from the 3 μC charge
such that the net electric field at point P is zero.

ELECTRIC FIELD
An electric field is a region in space in which an electric charge experiences a force.
The direction of the electric field at a point is the direction that a positive test charge
would move if placed at that point.
Some important points to remember about electric fields:
• They originate and end perpendicularly to the surface of the charged objects.
• Field lines never cross.
• They are most dense (closer to each other) where the field is the strongest and is
least dense (further from each other) where the field is the weakest.
• They surround the charged object in three dimensions. We only draw a few lines
in one plane

Electric field strength at a point
The electric field strength at a point is the electrostatic force experienced per unit
positive charge placed at that point.
The test charge placed at a point in electric field will experience a force;; the magnitude
of the force experienced will depend on the distance of the test charge(q) away from the
charge(Q) setting the field.

Unit :
• The unit for electric field strength (E) is newton per coulomb( N∙C-) if the
electrostatic force F acts on the charge in Newton (N), the charge Q is in coulomb
(C).
Direction:
• Electric field strength is a vector quantity
• A direction of electric field (by conversion) is the direction of the electrostatic force
that a positively charged particle will experience at that point.
• The positively charged particle will thus move in the direction of the field and a
negatively charged particle will move against the field.
The force experienced by a test charge when placed in an electric field is given by:
𝐹 = 𝑞𝐸

OHM’S LAW
States that:
The potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the
current in the conductor at constant temperature
This Law describes the relationship between the current flowing through a
conductor and the potential difference (p.d.) across its ends.
A
V
By increasing the number of cells in the circuit we are able to increase the
p.d. across the ends of the conductor. This increased p.d. is measured
using a voltmeter connected across the ends of the conductor. This
changes the current flowing through the conductor, which is measured
using an ammeter.
If an experiment was conducted using 5 cells, each of emf 1,5V, the
following is a possible set of results that could be obtained.

• R is the resistance of the conductor.
• Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω)
Resistance
Resistance in a wire is the opposition of a wire to the flow of electricity. It is caused by
collisions between the electrons and the atoms in the wire. The hotter the wire, the more
chance there is of a collision. Therefore hot wires have more resistance.
One Ohm: A conductor has a resistance of one ohm if a current of one ampere passes through
it when a p.d. of one volt is maintained across its ends.
Ohmic and non-Ohmic conductors:
Conductors that obey Ohm’s Law are said to be Ohmic conductors, for example a piece of
nichrome wire.
Conductors that do not obey Ohm’s Law are said to be non-Ohmic conductors, example diodes.
A graph of potential difference vs current flowing for a diode may look like this:
Potential

Current
Factors affecting the resistance of a conductor:
• Length of the conductor. The longer the conductor the greater the resistance.
• Cross sectional area. The greater the cross sectional area of a conductor the lesser the
resistance.
• Temperature. An increase in temperature of a conductor increases resistance.
• Kind of material used

Series and Parallel Circuits
Series Circuits
In a series circuit, the electrons in the current have to pass through all the components, which
are arranged in a line. Consider a typical series circuit in which there are three resistors of
value R1, R2, and R3. The values may be the same, or different.
There are two key points about a series circuit:
• The current throughout the circuit is the same
• The voltages add up to the battery voltage.
Therefore:
VT = V1 + V2 + V3
Page 16 of 78
https://tvetpapers.co.za
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
https://ultradeep.co.za
Physical Sciences Grade 11 Document 2017
From Ohm’s Law we know:
• VT = IRT;;
• V1 = IR1;;
• V2 = IR2;;
• V3 = IR3
Þ IRT = IR1 + IR2 + IR3
Therefore: RT = R1 + R2 + R3
Parallel Resistors
Parallel circuits have their components in parallel branches so that an individual electron can
go through one of the branches, but not the others. The current splits into each of the branches.
Look at this circuit:
Page 17 of 78
https://tvetpapers.co.za
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
https://ultradeep.co.za
GRADE 11 Page 18 of 78
In this case, the current will split into three pathways. For a parallel circuit we know two things:
• The voltage across each branch is the same
• The currents in each branch add up to the total current.
From this we can write: Itot = I1 + I2 + I3
From Ohm’s Law, I = V/R, we can write:
I T = V ;; I1 = V;; I2 = V;; I3 = V
RT R1 R2 R3
Þ V = V + V + V
RT R1 R2 R3

This is true for any number of parallel resistors.

Magnetic field lines closest to the wire are circular.
Magnetic field lines at the centre of the loop are straight and parallel to each other.
3. Magnetic around a solenoid (cylindrical coil of wire)
• Magnetic field lines form closed loops.
• On the outside of the solenoid, the direction of the field is from north to south
( like in a bar magnet).
• Inside the solenoid the direction of field is south to north.
• The polarity of the current carrying solenoid is determined by Right Hand Rule.
• Thumb is pointing at the direction of the field.
• Curved fingers are pointing in the direction of conventional current.

• Emf has a negative sign because it opposes the change in flux
Current induced by changing magnetic field
• When there is a change in magnetic field around the conductor, current is induced.
• Current is induced when there is relative motion between the coil and the magnet
• No current is induced if magnet is held stationary in the coil.
• The direction of induced current is determined by Right Hand Rule.
• If thumb points in the direction of field, curved fingers point in the direction of current and
vice versa.
• The induced current flows in a direction so as to set up the magnetic field to oppose the
change in magnetic flux.
Figure 1:
Magnet moving into the solenoid
• The distance between the magnetic and the solenoid decreases and so magnetic flux
inside the solenoid increases.
• The magnetic field of the magnet is towards left.
• To oppose this increase towards left, the field produced by induced current is towards
right.
Figure 2
Magnet pulled out from the solenoid
• The distance between the magnet and the solenoid increases and so the magnetic flux
inside the solenoid decreases.
• To oppose this decrease, the field produced by induced current flowing in the direction
indicated is towards left.

Factors influencing the magnitude of the induced current
• Strength of magnetic field- the stronger the magnet, the greater the induced current.
• The number of turns in the coil- the greater the number of turns the greater the induced
current.
• The speed at which magnet and coil are moved relative to each other. The higher the
speed, the greater the induced current.
Magnetic flux
Magnetic flux (Φ )is the product of the component of magnetic field (B cos θ)
perpendicular to a surface and the area(A) of the surface the field passes through
.
Φ =BA cos θ
Θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the cross sectional area.
Unit of magnetic flux is weber (Wb).

MATTER AND MATERIALS
IDEAL GASES AND THERMAL PROPERTIES
MATTER: Is anything that occupies space and has mass
- Matter is made up of very small particles in constant motion
-
KINETIC THEORY determines the movement of particles in the three phases of matter:
1. Solids- particles vibrate in fixed position
2. Liquids- particles move around freely in a confined space
3. Gases- particles move rapidly and are far apart
Gas particles have enough kinetic energy enabling them to move randomly
A true gas such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide etc, will only
behave ideally at:
1. High temperature
2. Low pressure
Reason: at high temperature
• kinetic energy is very high
• molecules move extremely fast resulting in intermolecular forces decreasing as the temperature
increases
• Particles moving faster result in more collisions with each other and with the walls of the container,
causing volume to increases
Real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior under these conditions:
1. Low temperature
2. High pressure
Reason: at low temperature
• Kinetic energy of particles is lower
• Intermolecular forces exist between particles
• Particles are attracted to each other and gas liquifies
At high pressure
• gas molecules are close to each other
• intermolecular forces increase as there are now repulsion forces between molecules.
There scientists who studied gas laws include the following:
1. Boyle: studied pressure and volume relationship
2. Charles: studied temperature and volume relationship
3. Gay- Lussac: studied pressure and temperature relationship
Avogadro: studied volume and amount relationship

QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS OF CHEMICAL CHANGE
MOLE CONCEPT
1. The mole and Avogadro’s Number (NA)
Although atoms are too small to count individually, chemists need to know how many are present
in a sample. To do this they use a set number of particles as a base unit of measurement. This
unit is called a mole.
One MOLE of a substance contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in
12g of carbon-12, which is 6,02 x 1023. This is called the AVOGADRO NUMBER (NA).
2. Particle Formula
n = no. of moles
No No. = no. of particles (atoms/ molecules/ions)
NA = Avogadro’s Number, 6,023 x 1023
n NA
Example 1 1 mole of H2O contains 6,023 x 1023 molecules of H2O
1 mole of He contains 6,023 x 1023 atoms of He

Example 2
1. Calculate the number of moles represented by 1,2 x 1024 molecules of CO2
n = No = 1,2 x 1024 = 2 moles
NA 6 x 1023
Calculator: 1,2 exp 24 ÷ 6 exp 23 =
2. Calculate the number of molecules in 0,5mol of SO2 gas.
No. = n x NA = 0,5 x 6 x 1023 = 3 x 1023 molecules of SO2
Calculator: 0,5 x 6 exp 23 = 3 x 1023 (NOT 323)
3. Calculate the number of atoms in 0,5 mol of SO2 gas
1 molecule of SO2 contains 3 atoms [i.e 1(S) + 2(O)]
Therefore, 3 x 10 molecules of SO2 contains 3 x 3 x 1023) atoms = 9 x 1023 atoms

Stoichiometric Calculations
• Balanced equations contain the same number of each kind of atom on each side of the
equation.
• The total calculated mass of the reactants is equal to the total calculated mass of the
products in a balanced equation.
• The co-efficients in a balanced equation give mole relationships between reacting
chemicals.
• The quantity of product formed in the reaction is determined by the reactant which is not in
excess (i.e. limiting reactant).
Example
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ® 2NH3(g)
Mole ratio 1 mol 3 mol 2 mol
Mass ratio 28g 6g 34g
Volume ratio 22,4dm3 67,2dm3 44,8dm3 (at STP)
From the above equation, it can be said that one mole of N2 will react with 3 moles of H2 to form 2
moles of NH3. Since the ratio in which the masses react is directly related to the mole ratio it is
possible to relate these variables in a balanced equation by converting the given information to
moles using one of the 3 mole formulae.

Water of Crystallisation
One needs to be able to:
Ø explain the terms anhydrous, hydrated and water of crystallisation.
Ø calculate the formula of a hydrated salt.
Some substances can trap water molecules inside of them. The water contained is called the
water of crystallisation.
There are two ways in which a formula can be written if it is a hydrated compound:
1) Empirical formula, which you know and love;;
2) Dot formula, so copper sulfate pentahydrate becomes CuSO4 • 5H2O.

Energy changes in reactions related to bond energy changes
• Define heat of reaction (ΔH) as the energy absorbed or released per mole in a chemical
reaction.
ΔH = Hproducts – Hreactants, where Hproducts and Hreactants are the heat (energy) of the
products and reactants respectively.
• Define exothermic reactions as reactions that release energy.
• Define endothermic reactions as reactions that absorb energy.
• Classify, with reason, reactions as exothermic or endothermic.
Exothermic and endothermic reactions
• State that ΔH > 0 for endothermic reactions, i.e. reactions in which energy is absorbed.
• State that ΔH < 0 for exothermic reactions, i.e. reactions in which energy is released.
Activation energy
• Define activation energy as the minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place.
• Define an activated complex as the unstable transition state from reactants to products.
• Draw or interpret fully labelled sketch graphs (potential energy versus course of reaction
graphs) of catalysed and uncatalysed endothermic and exothermic reactions.
Chemical Change/Reaction
Is the change that involves the formation of a new substance e.g combustion of petrol, rusting of
iron.
ü can be represented using a chemical equation

There are two types of reaction based on energy and chemical change i.e.
1. Exothermic reaction
2. Endothermic reaction
Exothermic reaction is the reaction that releases energy
Endothermic reactionis the reaction that absorb energy
CHEMICAL REACTIONS TAKE PLACE IN TWO STAGES:
1. The bonds in the reactant molecules are broken to form free atoms. This step requires
more energy and is endothermic.
2. The free atoms bond together to form the product molecules. This step releases energy
and is exothermic.
The stage with the highest energy determines whether an overall energy change is
endothermic or exothermic.
ENERGY CHANGES IN FUELS
Fuels undergo combustion reactions in the presence of oxygen to produce water and carbon
dioxide.
Combustion reactions are highly exothermic and release large amounts of heat energy and light
energy.
Example:
When methane burns in the presence of oxygen:
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + heat
Energy needed to break the bonds:
C-H BONDS =4 X 414 =1656 kJmol
O=O BONDS =2 X499= 998 kJ/mol
TOTAL = 1656 +998 = 2654 kJ/mol

GRADE 11 Page 63 of 78
ENERGY RELEASED TO FORM NEW BONDS:
C=O BONDS = 2 x 799 = 1598 kJ/mol
O-H BONDS = 4 X 460 = 1840kJ/mol
TOTAL ENERGY RELEASED = 1598+ 1840 =3438kJ/mol
More energy is released therefore the reaction is exothermic.
Change in energy = energy needed – energy released
=2654-3438 = -784kJ/mol
ENERGY CHANGES IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
1 Photosynthesis is highly endothermic as it requires huge amounts of light energy.
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
2 Respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis and releases energy and is exothermic.
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Energy profiles
Reactions are classified as exothermic and endothermic
• Enthalpy(H) is the amount of energy of reactants or products
• Enthalpy cannot be measured
• Enthalpy change (∆H) can be calculated using: ∆H= Hproducts-Hreactants

Redox reactions
In Grade 11 we need to:
• Determine the oxidation number from a chemical formula and electronegativities
• Identify a reduction - oxidation reaction and apply the correct terminology to describe all the
processes
• Describe oxidation reduction reactions as involving electron transfer
• Describe oxidation - reduction reactions as always involving changes in oxidation number

• Explain the meaning of
• Assign oxidation numbers to atoms in various molecules like H2O, CH4,
CO2, H2O2, HOCℓ by using oxidation number guidelines or rules
• Use rules of oxidation to assign oxidation numbers to atoms in a variety of molecules and ions
Electrochemical Reactions
Oxidation and Reduction: Oxidation is:
• the loss of electrons.
• an increase in oxidation state.
Reduction is:
• the gain of electrons.
• a decrease in oxidation state.
Oxidation and reduction reactions always occur together and are sometimes called redox
reactions. The substance that is oxidized is the reducing agent, and the substance that is
reduced is the oxidizing agent
Oxidation States: The oxidation state is a fictitious charge assigned to each atom in a
compound. It is calculated by assigning all bonding electrons in a compound to the most
electronegative element.
The Activity Series: The activity series is a listing of metals from those that are easiest to
oxidize to those that are most difficult to oxidize. Any half-reaction in the activity series is
spontaneous when paired with the reverse of a half-reaction below it on the list.
Corrosion: Corrosion is the oxidation of iron and other metals by atmospheric oxygen. Corrosion
can be prevented by keeping the metal dry, sealing it with a protective coating, or depositing a
more active metal onto the surface of the metal to be protected.
Let a Good Chemistry Story be told:
Oxidation and Reduction: Definitions
Page 67 of 78
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
GRADE 11 Page 68 of 78
Consider the following redox reactions:
1. 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) à2Fe2O3(s) (rusting of iron)
2. CH4(g) + 2O2(g) àCO2(g) + 2H2O(g) (combustion of methane)
What do they all have in common?
Each of these reactions involves one or more elements gaining oxygen. In the rusting of iron, iron
gains oxygen as it turns into iron oxide, the familiar orange substance we call rust. In the
combustion of methane, carbon gains oxygen to form carbon dioxide, producing the brilliant blue
flame we see on gas stoves. In each case, the substance that gains oxygen is oxidized in the
reaction.
One definition of oxidation—though not the most fundamental one—is simply the gaining of
oxygen.
Now consider these same three reactions in reverse:
1. 2H2O(g) à2H2(g) + O2(g)
2. 2Fe2O3(s)à4Fe(s) + 3O2(g)
Each of these reactions involves loss of oxygen. In the first reaction, hydrogen loses oxygen;; in
the second reaction, iron loses oxygen.
One definition of reduction is simply the loss of oxygen.
Redox reactions need not involve oxygen, however. Consider, for example, the similarities
between the following two reactions:
1. 4Li(s) + O2(g)à2Li2O(s)
2. 2Li(s) + Cl2(g) à 2LiCl(s)
In both cases, lithium (a metal with a strong tendency to lose electrons) reacts with an
electronegative non metal (which has a tendency to gain electrons). In both cases, lithium atoms
lose electrons to become positive ions—lithium is oxidized.
Li àLi+ + e-
The electrons lost by lithium are gained by the non metals, which become negative ions the non
metals are reduced.
O2 + 4e-à2O2-
Cl2 + 2e- à2Cl-
A more fundamental definition of oxidation, then, is simply the loss of electrons, and a more
fundamental definition of reduction is the gain of electrons.
Notice that oxidation and reduction must occur together. If one substance loses electrons
(oxidation), then another substance must gain electrons (reduction).
The substance that is oxidized is called the reducing agent because it causes the reduction of
the other substance.
Page 68 of 78
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
GRADE 11 Page 69 of 78
Similarly, the substance that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent because it causes the
oxidation of the other substance. For example, consider our hydrogen–oxygen fuel-cell reaction.
2H2(g) + O2(g) à 2H2O(g)
Reducing agent Oxidizing agent
In this reaction, hydrogen is oxidized, making it the reducing agent. Oxygen is reduced, making it
the oxidizing agent. Substances such as oxygen, which have a strong tendency to attract
electrons, are good oxidizing agents—they tend to cause the oxidation of other substances.
Substances such as hydrogen, which have a strong tendency to give up electrons, are good
reducing agents—they tend to cause the reduction of other substances.
NB: Helpful mnemonics: OIL RIG—Oxidation Is Loss (of electrons);; Reduction Is Gain (of
electrons). LEO the lion says GER—Lose Electrons Oxidation;; Gain Electrons Reduction.

(c) 2Al(s) + 3Sn2+(aq)à 2Al3+(aq) + 3Sn(s)
Oxidation States
Rules for Assigning Oxidation States Examples
• The oxidation state of an atom in a free element is 0, e.g. Cu Cl2
• The oxidation state of a monoatomic ion is equal to its charge. e.g. Ca2+ +2 ox state, Cl- -1
ox state
• The sum of the oxidation states of all atoms in:
ü a neutral molecule or formula unit is 0. e.g. H2O (2xH ox state) + (1xO ox state) = 0
ü an ion is equal to the charge NO3- e.g. (1xN ox state) + (3xO ox state) = -1
In their compounds,
• Group I metals have an oxidation state of +1. e.g. NaCl +1 ox state
• Group II metals have an oxidation state of +2. e.g. CaF2 +2 ox state
In their compounds, non metals are assigned oxidation states according to the hierarchical table
at left. Entries at the top of the table have priority over entries at the bottom.

Balancing Redox Equations Using the Half-Reaction Method
1. Assign oxidation states to all atoms and identify the substances being oxidized and reduced.
2. Separate the overall reaction into two half-reactions, one for oxidation and one for
reduction.
3. Balance each half-reaction with respect to mass in the following order.
• Balance all elements other than H and O.
• Balance O by adding H2O.
• Balance H by adding H+.
4. Balance each half-reaction with respect to charge by adding electrons to the right side of
the oxidation half-reaction and the left side of the reduction half-reaction. (The sum of the
charges on both sides of each equation should then be equal.)
5. Make the number of electrons in both half-reactions equal by multiplying one or both half-
reactions by a small whole number.
6. Add the two half-reactions together, cancelling electrons and other species as necessary.
7. Verify that the reaction is balanced with respect to both mass and charge.
The above rules work with reactions in acid medium. If reactions are in basic solutions the
rules are the same except that after adding H+ to balance the hydrogens, OH- must he
added to neutralise the acidic H+.
Balancing when reactions are occurring in basic solutions
1. Follow the half-reaction method for balancing redox reactions.
Begin by assigning oxidation states.
2. Separate the overall reaction into two half-reactions
.
3. Balance each half-reaction with respect to mass.
• Balance all elements other than H and O.
• Balance O by adding H2O.
• Balance H by adding H+
• Neutralize by adding OH- (Add the same number of OH- to each side of the equation (to
preserve mass balance).
• Cancel any water molecules that occur on both sides of a half reaction.
4. Balance each half-reaction with respect to charge.
5. Make the number of electrons in both half - reactions equal.
6. Add the half-reactions together and cancel.
7. Verify that the reaction is balanced.
The Activity Series: Predicting the spontaneous nature of reactions
Page 70 of 78
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
GRADE 11 Page 71 of 78
As we have seen, redox reactions depend on the gaining of electrons by one substance and the
losing of electrons by another. Is there a way to predict whether a particular redox reaction will
spontaneously occur?
Mg(s) + Cu2+(aq)àMg2+(aq) + Cu(s)
We see this as the fading of blue (the colour of the Cu2+ions in solution), the dissolving of the
solid magnesium, and the appearance of solid copper on the remaining magnesium surface. This
reaction is spontaneous—it occurs on its
own when Mg(s) and Cu2+ come into contact.
On the other hand, if we put Cu(s) in a solution containing Mg2+ions, no reaction occurs.
Cu(s) + Mg2+ (aq) à no reaction
No reaction occurs because, as we said previously, Mg atoms have a greater tendency to lose
electrons than do Cu atoms;; Cu atoms will therefore not lose electrons to ions. Table 16.1 shows
the activity series of metals.
• This table lists metals in order of decreasing tendency to lose electrons.
• The metals at the top of the list have the greatest tendency to lose electrons—they are
most easily oxidized and therefore the most reactive. The metals at the bottom of the list
have the lowest tendency to lose electrons—they are the most difficult to oxidize and
Page 71 of 78
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
GRADE 11 Page 72 of 78
therefore the least reactive. It is not a coincidence that the metals used for jewellery, such
as silver and gold, are near the bottom of the list.
• They are among the least reactive metals and therefore do not form compounds easily.
Instead, they tend to remain as solid silver and solid gold rather than being oxidized to
silver and gold cations by elements in the environment (such as the oxygen in the air).
• Each reaction in the activity series is an oxidation half-reaction. The half reactions at the
top are most likely to occur in the forward direction, and the half reactions at the bottom
are most likely to occur in the reverse direction. Consequently, if we pair a half-reaction
from the top of the list with the reverse of a half-reaction from the bottom of the list, we get
a spontaneous reaction. More specifically, any half-reaction on the list will be spontaneous
when paired with the reverse of any half-reaction below it.
