### Electrochemical Cell: Zn|Zn²⁺ Half-Cell and Al|Al³⁺ Half-Cell

#### Problem Statement
Consider an electrochemical cell constructed with a \( \text{Zn|Zn}^{2+} \) half-cell and a \( \text{Al|Al}^{3+} \) half-cell.

#### Instructions

1. **Determine \( E^\circ_{cell} \) (V).**
   - Calculate the standard electrode potential for the cell.

2. **Write the net ionic equation for the cell.**
   - Follow the given directions above, paying special attention to Step 7.

3. **Identify the half-cell at the cathode (Enter a number 1 - 4).**
   - Choose the correct half-cell reaction from the given options.

   Possible half-cell reactions:
   1. \( \text{Zn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Zn}^0_{(s)} \)
   2. \( \text{Zn}^0_{(s)} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^- \)
   3. \( \text{Al}^{3+}_{(aq)} + 3e^- \rightarrow \text{Al}^0_{(s)} \)
   4. \( \text{Al}^0_{(s)} \rightarrow \text{Al}^{3+}_{(aq)} + 3e^- \)

Below each question, spaces are provided for students to enter their responses.

#### Note
- "NG" and "Init" refer to placeholders for Not Graded and Initial stages, respectively, commonly used in educational platforms to record students' progress and answers.

### Explanation of Graphs or Diagrams
- There are no graphs or diagrams associated with this problem.
