<p>A Standard Reduction Potential (SRP) table lists the potentials of half-reactions, showing the tendency of chemical species to gain electrons and undergo reduction under standard conditions. The table ranks these potentials relative to a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), which has an SRP of 0 volts. Positive values indicate species more likely to be reduced, while negative values indicate those more likely to be oxidized. The SRP table is vital in predicting spontaneous redox reactions and determining the direction of electron flow in electrochemical cells. It aids in understanding the relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents in various chemical processes.</p>
