Explain why the amount of energy released in a redox reaction depends on the nature of both the electron donor and the electron acceptor
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Answers should emphasize that energy does not come from specific molecules but rather from the difference in reduction potential between two molecules. For example, assigning arbitrary values and subtracting them from one another by comparing two different electron acceptors to one donor would indicate differences in energy for an electron acceptor. In a similar way, this could also be shown to mathematically explain electron donors having an equal role in determining ΔE0'.
