A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential
=E0red−0.34V
. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the cathode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least
0.60V
of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.

 

Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the cathode of the cell.

Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the anode of this cell can have?

 

If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.
 
yes, there is a minimum.
