Question

Can someone help me calculate the standard cell potentials with the given:
Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s) Eᵒ = 0.34 V
Ag+(aq) + e- → Ag(s) Eᵒ + 0.80 V

Answer 1

here the given potentials are reduction potentials.
lesser the value of it more it has tendency to be anode.
also standard potential is \[E ^{0}_{cell}=E ^{0}_{cathode}-E ^{0}_{anode}\]
here anode is Cu cell and cathode is Ag cell
Ans is 0.46V

Answer 2

Thank you!! :)
