Appendix 3D contains a listing of the standard-state reduction potentials for selected
species. The more positive the standard-state reduction potential, the more
favorable the reduction reaction will be under standard-state conditions. Thus,
under standard-state conditions, the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu (E° = +0.3419) is
more favorable than the reduction of Zn2+ to Zn (E° = –0.7618).
