### Understanding Standard Reduction PotentialsA metal anode has a standard reduction potential of -1.56 V, while the cathode has a reduction potential of -1.16 V. What is the \( E^0_{\text{cell}} \)?- ○ -0.40 V- ○ +0.40 V- ○ -2.72 V- ○ +2.72 V#### ExplanationTo find the standard cell potential \( E^0_{\text{cell}} \), use the formula:\[ E^0_{\text{cell}} = E^0_{\text{cathode}} - E^0_{\text{anode}} \]Given:- \( E^0_{\text{cathode}} = -1.16 \, \text{V} \)- \( E^0_{\text{anode}} = -1.56 \, \text{V} \)\[ E^0_{\text{cell}} = (-1.16 \, \text{V}) - (-1.56 \, \text{V}) = 0.40 \, \text{V} \]Thus, the correct answer is:- ○ +0.40 V

Given :- E°anode = -1.56 V E°cathode = -1.16 V To calculate :- E°cell
