Can you please solve question 17.50 and show all of the steps to the solution 

**Electrochemistry Problems**

**17.49**  
How are standard reduction potentials defined?  
The silver oxide-zinc battery used in watches delivers a voltage of 1.60 V. Calculate the free-energy change (in kilojoules) for the cell reaction:  
\[ \text{Zn(s)} + \text{Ag}_2\text{O(s)} \rightarrow \text{ZnO(s)} + 2 \text{Ag(s)} \]

**17.51**  
The standard cell potential for a lead storage battery is 1.924 V. Calculate \(\Delta G^\circ\) (in kilojoules) for the cell reaction:  
\[ \text{Pb(s)} + \text{PbO}_2\text{(s)} + 2 \text{H}^+\text{(aq)} + 2 \text{HSO}_4^-\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2 \text{PbSO}_4\text{(s)} + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} \]

**17.52**  
What is the value of \(x\) if \(A^{2+} + B^- \rightarrow A^{++} + B\) \(E^\circ = 1.43 \text{ V and } \Delta G^\circ = -41 \text{ kJ}\)?

The image also features an illustration showing cylindrical batteries labeled "Energizer 357" with specifications that highlight their use in small electronic devices such as watches.
