Question

An electrochemical cell is constructed with an open switch, as shown in the diagram. A strip of Sn and a strip of unknown metal, X are used as electrodes. The mass of the Sn electrode increases when the switch is closed. The half-reactions are shown.

(i) Write the cell notation of the electrochemical cell.
(ii) If the standard cell potential E ̊cell is +0.60 V, what is the standard potential, in volts for the X³⁺/X electrode illustrated in the Figure
(iii) Identify metal X using standard cell potential.
