Transcribed Image Text:**Electrochemical Cell Potential Calculation**
This section provides a detailed example of calculating the potential for each half-cell and the total electromotive force (EMF) at 25 °C for the following electrochemical cell representation:
**Cell Representation:**
- Anode: \( \text{Pb} / \text{Pb}^{2+} \text{ (0.001 N)} \)
- Cathode: \(\text{Cl}^- \text{ (0.1 N)} / \text{Pt, Cl}_2 \text{ (1 atm)}\)
**Standard Electrode Potentials:**
- \( E^\circ_{\text{Pb}^{2+}/\text{Pb}} = -0.126 \, \text{V} \)
- \( E^\circ_{\text{Cl}_2/\text{Cl}^-} = +1.358 \, \text{V} \)
**Objective:**
Calculate the potential for each half-cell and determine the total EMF of the cell.
