To write an oxidation half-reaction using a reduction potential chart, you first identify the species being oxidized and locate its reduction potential on the chart. Since oxidation is the reverse of reduction, you invert the sign of the reduction potential to obtain the oxidation potential. The oxidation potential voltage can be determined by taking the negative of the corresponding reduction potential value; this value indicates the tendency of the species to lose electrons.
Lipids release more energy than carbohydrates because they have more carbon-hydrogen bonds, which contain higher energy potential. This allows lipids to yield more ATP molecules during cellular respiration compared to carbohydrates. Additionally, lipids have a lower proportion of oxygen compared to carbohydrates, which enables them to yield more energy through oxidation.
The reduction potential plus oxidation potential is negative.
When liquid molecules evaporate, the potential energy of the molecules decreases. This is because the molecules overcome intermolecular forces and move from a more ordered state (liquid) to a less ordered state (gas). As the molecules gain kinetic energy during evaporation, the potential energy decreases.
Reversing the equation gives the oxidation half reaction. Doing this changes the sign on the voltage, not the magnitude.

Oxidation potential measures the tendency of a substance to be oxidized, while reduction potential measures the tendency of a substance to be reduced. Both are measured in volts and indicate the strength of a substance's ability to gain or lose electrons in a redox reaction.
Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).

Yes, molecules have potential energy stored in their chemical bonds.
The rusting of a nail (iron) is an oxidation process. An iron nail in an electric circuit has a much higher potential difference than its oxidation potential, so it cannot oxidize.
