red A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential E = +0.16 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the cathode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.30 V 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. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the anode of this cell can have?

A galvanic cell is set-up in the laboratory with a copper anode and an unidentified cathode. Your teacher asks you to identify the cathode of the solution with the given information. The anode metal is lustrous and grey in color, so you narrow it down to silver and zinc. The voltmeter reading shows that the cell potential is 0.50 V. The copper (II) sulfate solution was indicated to have a concentration of 0.10 M.
