1.A metal "X" is used as a “sacrificial” anode on hulls of salt water vessels made of iron. The effect is to reverse the oxidation of iron to iron (II) by causing X to oxidize to the X ion. Calculate the voltage (in V, to two decimal places) for this reaction if it takes place under standard conditions. The standard reduction potential for X is -0.52 V (minus 0.52 V).

2.Batteries are charged and discharged due to the concentration of the solutions inside. Calculate the voltage of a battery made from zinc in a 0.1M solution of Zn2+ and a metal X in a 1 M X2+ solution using the table of reduction potentials and Eq. 6 at 25 degrees C. Answer with the unit V, to two decimal places. The standard reduction potential of X is -0.46 volts.
