An electrochemical cell is constructed of a half cell of
with silver wire that is placed in 1.00 M of a solution
aqueous AgNO3 and the other half cell consists of an electrode
of zinc in a 1.00 M Zn(NO3)2 solution as well.
• E˚ (Zn2+/Zn) = - 0.76 V     E˚ (Ag+/Ag) = + 0.80 V


(a) Write the balanced equation for the spontaneous reaction
that occurs in a cell under these conditions.

(b) What is the E˚ of the cell?
