Ladder diagrams representing redox equilibria use electrochemical potential, E, as their scale. Consider the half-cell reaction between Fe3+ and an electron to yield Fe2+. At equilibrium, E equals its standard state potential, Eo of +0.771V. The concentration of Fe3+ is higher for more positive potentials than Eo, while Fe2+ dominates at potentials more negative than Eo. Now, consider the half-cell reaction between Sn4+ and an electron to yield Sn2+ with Eo of +0.154V. Above this point, Sn4+ dominates, whereas Sn2+ is the dominant species below this point. Adding excess Sn2+ to the system reduces Fe3+, changing the solution potential to +0.154V. Generally, the electrochemical potential varies with the pH of the solution. For instance, the ladder diagram of the half-cell reaction between UO22+ and two electrons to give U4+ shows that at pH zero, E equals +0.327V. If the pH of the solution changes, the E value changes, affecting the concentration of the predominant species.
