Calculate the potential (emf) of a working galvanic cell that is based on these two half cells and standard potentials (both written as reduction reactions) in an aqueous basic solution.

Cr3+(aq)  →  Cr2+(aq)       E°(Cr3+/Cr2+) = −0.40 V

IO(aq)  →  I2(aq)            E°( IO/I2) = +1.60 V

The pH of this cell is 14, and the concentrations of species are:  Cr3+ is 0.5 M, Cr2+is 0.2 M, IO is 0.5 M and I2 is 0.8 M.
