Question
### Electrochemical Cell Analysis

**Problem Statement:**
Consider the following electrochemical cell:

**Cell Notation:**
\[ \text{S.C.E. (satd. KCl)} \, || \, \text{CuCl}_2 (\text{aq}) (A = 0.0046 \, \text{M}) \, | \, \text{Cu (s)} \]

**Half-Reactions:**

1. \[ \text{Hg}_2\text{Cl}_2 (\text{s}) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2 \text{Hg (l)} + 2 \text{Cl}^- (\text{aq}) \]
   - \( E^\circ = +0.241 \, \text{V (satd. KCl)} \)

2. \[ \text{Cu}^{2+} (\text{aq}) + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu (s)} \]
   - \( E^\circ = +0.339 \, \text{V} \)

**Questions:**

a) What is the \( E_\text{cell} (\text{V}) \)?

b) What is the net (overall) reaction?

c) What is \( \Delta G \) for the reaction in (b)?

**Note:** The image does not contain any graphs or diagrams to explain further.
