2. Redox pairs and redox potential

In fact, the reactions and are equilibria, liable, depending on the conditions of the medium, to shift to the left or to the right. In both cases, electron transfer takes place between an oxidant (respectively Fe 3+ or O 2 ) and a conjugate reductant (respectively Fe 2+ or H 2 O) according to the general formula :
