### Electrochemical Cell Reaction Problem

#### Problem Statement:
Balance the following skeleton reaction, calculate \( E^\circ_{cell} \), and state whether the reaction is spontaneous:

\[ \text{Cu}^+(aq) + \text{PbO}_2(s) + \text{SO}_4^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow \text{PbSO}_4(s) + \text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) \quad [\text{acidic}] \]

#### Instructions:
1. **Write the balanced equation**, making sure to include the state of each component.

2. **Calculate \( E^\circ_{cell} \)**:

\[
E^\circ_{cell} = \underline{\quad}
\]

3. **Determine if the reaction is spontaneous or nonspontaneous**:
    - Spontaneous 
    - Nonspontaneous

#### Diagram:
A diagram is provided showing an arrow pointing from left to right, representing the direction of the reaction.

#### Components:
- **Left Side**: Reactants (Cu\(^+\)(aq), PbO\(_2\)(s), SO\(_4^{2-}\)(aq))
- **Right Side**: Products (PbSO\(_4\)(s), Cu\(^2+\)(aq))

Fill in the spaces with the correct values and choose whether the reaction is spontaneous or nonspontaneous based on your calculation of \( E^\circ_{cell} \).

### Answer Section:
- Balanced Equation: _____________________________
- Standard Cell Potential (\( E^\circ_{cell} \)): ______ V
- Reaction Spontaneity:
  - [ ] Spontaneous
  - [ ] Nonspontaneous
