The values of \(E^o_m\) as a function of celsius temperature t, in different solvent composition have been determined. The dependence of the standard potentials at 25° on the dielectric constant of the media (in the light of Born equation), the volume fraction (\(\oslash\)w) and the mole fraction (NW) of water (based on Feakins-French relationship) has been examined. The variations of the thermodynamic quantities \(\bigtriangleup\)Go,\(\bigtriangleup\) so and \(\bigtriangleup\)H° with various parameters associated with the solvent media have also been examined.
